Mr. CATHCART WASONasked the Prime Minister whether, in view of the importance of land legislation in Scotland (especially in the crofting districts), he would appoint a Committee to consider the various Bills on the subject before the House?
§ The PRIME MINISTERThe policy of the Government remains that which was indicated in my speech at Earlston in October, 1908, and I do not think that any practical purpose would be served by the adoption of the suggestion of my hon. Friend.
MARQUESS Of TULLIBARDINEWould the right hon. Gentleman, for the convenience of those interested in this matter, have a report issued on the success or otherwise of the Government small holdings at Vatersay, and their effect on the rates?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI do not think that that arises in any way. Perhaps the Noble Lord will give me notice.
