HC Deb 16 June 1910 vol 17 cc1453-4
Mr. MORTON

asked the Prime Minister whether the Government intended to introduce a Small Landowners Bill for Scotland this Session of Parliament?

The PRIME MINISTER

I fear it will be impossible to introduce such a Bill this Session.

Mr. MORTON

In that case, might I ask my right hon. Friend to consider the Bill of the hon. Member for Orkney and Shetland (Mr. Cathcart Wason)?

The PRIME MINISTER

I am well acquainted with it.

Mr. MORTON

Will my right hon. Friend give time for the consideration of that Bill if he cannot introduce one himself?

The PRIME MINISTER

I am afraid I cannot do so.
