HC Deb 13 July 1905 vol 149 c568
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury if he will introduce legislation to prevent further evictions on the Matheson Estate, Island of Lewis, of persons who have erected their own dwellings, and who will be absolutely without shelter during the coming winter.

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

I do not propose to bring in any legislation on this subject.

MR. WEIR

Why not substitute this for the Redistribution scheme which nobody wants? Will you do that?

MR. A. J. BALFOUR

No, Sir.
