HC Deb 30 March 1911 vol 23 c1509
Mr. WEIR

asked the Prime Minister whether he will state if the policy and tactics of the Government necessitate the abandonment of Highland land legislation until Welsh Dissestablishment has been dealt with; and, if not, will the Government introduce a Scottish Land Bill to run concurrently with a Bill for Wales?

The PRIME MINISTER

I cannot add anything at present to the answer which I gave my hon. Friend last week—20th March.

Mr. EUGENE WASON

May I ask the right hon. Gentleman whether it is intended to separate any land legislation dealing with the Highlands from land legislation dealing with the whole of Scotland?

The PRIME MINISTER

As at present advised there is no such intention.

MARQUESS of TULLIBARDINE

Is the Government not pledged to bring in a Small Holders Land Bill for Scotland?

The PRIME MINISTER

The answer I gave last week deals explicitly with that point.

Mr. W. F. ROCH

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that since 1906 measures dealing exclusively with Scotland have been placed on the Statute Book, but that no such favour has been shown to Wales?
