§ MR. BARNESI beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland whether he will take the necessary steps to put Scottish municipal authorities on an equal footing with those of England in regard to the term of repayments under the provisions 1321 of the Housing of the Working Classes Act of 1890.
§ MR. SINCLAIRIt is not clear that Scottish opinion demands so long a period as the eighty years permissible under the English Act of 1903, but I shall be glad to consider any representations on the subject.
