asked the Prime Minister whether, in order to facilitate the early establishment of a domestic legislature in Scotland, he will appoint a Commission to investigate during the Recess the relations at present obtaining between Scotland and Great Britain in the matter of public income and expenditure, with a view to fixing the appropriate contribution to Imperial revenue which Scotland under Home Rule should make and the most convenient form of levying such contribution?

The PRIME MINISTER

I am not prepared at present to promise to appoint such a Commission.
