HC Deb 20 May 1909 vol 5 c568
Mr. MOLTENO

asked the Prime Minister whether he intends to make any provision this Session for carrying out the proposals twice sanctioned by this House during the present Parliament, and not seriously opposed, for establishing for Scotland a Department responsible to the Secretary for Scotland for the administration of agriculture in that country?

The PRIME MINISTER (Mr. Asquith)

I hope that my Noble Friend the Secretary for Scotland will soon be in a position to lay proposals on this subject in another place.
