HC Deb 21 March 1910 vol 15 cc769-70
Mr. WATT

asked whether the success of the experiment of appointing a Public Trustee for England will cause him to introduce legislation instituting a similar office for Scotland?

Mr. URE

No evidence whatever of a desire for the appointment of such an official in Scotland has reached the Secretary for Scotland or myself. In these circumstances legislation in the direction suggested in my hon. Friend's question is not contemplated.

Mr. WATT

Is the right hon. Gentleman not aware that this position of public trustee is likely to prove a lucrative one, and is it not only right that the Scotch should have a look in?
