PIRIEI beg to ask the Prime Minister whether, in view of the desire in Scotland for a drastic measure of temperance reform, and having regard to the present legislative situation on this question in Scotland, he can state if the Government propose to introduce such a measure next year dealing with that country.
§ MR. ASQUITHI am not yet able to make any statement as to the legislation; of next year.
§ MR. PIRIECan the right hon. Gentleman explain why last Friday on a Private Member's Bill dealing with the temperance question for Scotland the Government could not see their way to giving hon.
