§ MAJOR ANSTRUTHER-GRAYI beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland whether he can give any information as to the introduction of a Bill on the lines of the Local Government (Scotland) (No. 2) Bill, which was withdrawn in July 1906, on the understanding that he would endeavour to do so as soon as time was available.
§ MR. SINCLAIRI still hope that time may be available this session for the consideration of such a measure, but am not yet able to make a definite promise.
§ MAJOR ANSTRUTHER-GRAYCan the right hon. Gentleman indicate a date when we may expect a further statement?
§ MR. SINCLAIRI am sorry I cannot.
§ MAJOR ANSTRUTHER-GRAYNot before Easter?
§ MR. SINCLAIRNo, sir.
