HC Deb 10 December 1912 vol 45 cc237-8
44. Mr. HOGGE

asked whether the detailed evidence now being taken by the Laud Court in Scotland will be made available to Members of this House; and, if so, when and in what form?

Mr. MCKINNON WOOD

The leading decisions of the Land Court, with notes, will be published in the Annual Report (as was done in the case of the Crofters Commission), and will probably also appear in some of the legal journals. It is not proposed to provide for any further detailed report of evidence, which I am advised would be very costly.

Sir G. YOUNGER

Will the conversational remarks of the judges at these inquiries always be published?

Mr. McKINNON WOOD

No. I do not think conversational remarks will be published.

Captain MURRAY

Is an official shorthand report being taken of these proceedings?

Mr. McKINNON WOOD

I do not think there is a verbatim report.
