HC Deb 18 March 1920 vol 126 c2378
57. Lieut.-Colonel MURRAY

asked whether the Bill to give security of tenure to agricultural tenants will apply to Scotland or whether there is to be a separate Bill for Scotland?

The SECRETARY for SCOTLAND (Mr. Munro)

I have been asked to reply. I cannot at present add anything to what I said on Tuesday on this subject in answer to my hon. and gallant Friend.

Lieut.-Colonel MURRAY

If there is to be a separate Bill for Scotland, will the right hon. Gentleman arrange that it shall be introduced simultaneously with the English Bill, and that Scottish interests are not neglected?

Mr. MUNRO

I do not think that as a rule they are neglected. I told my hon. Friend yesterday the reasons why it might not be possible to introduce the Bill at precisely the same moment. There will be no avoidable delay in introducing the Scottish Measure if there should be a separate Bill.
