HC Deb 11 June 1907 vol 175 c1240
SIR HENRY CRAIK (Glasgow and Aberdeen Universities)

On behalf of the hon. Member for the City of London who is engaged on a Grand Committee upstairs, I bog to ask the Secretary for Scotland whether his attention has been directed to the allocation of the church property at Ullapool to the United Free Church, notwithstanding the representation submitted to the Commissioners that the Sub-Commissioner had made an error in his Report, and that the Free Church had eighty more than the third required by the Act; and whether he will order a new inquiry.

MR. JOHN BURNS

On behalf of my right hon. friend who is similarly engaged and is, I presume, keeping an eye on the hon. Baronet, I have to say that this matter lies with a Royal Commission appointed by Parliament and my right hon. friend has no such power as is suggested.
