§ 29. Sir DONALD MACLEANasked the Secretary for Scotland whether, in view of the inequitable method of striking fiars prices which prevails in certain Scottish counties, he will introduce legislation to remove these anomalies?
§ Mr. MUNROI am aware that the procedure in striking fiars prices in Scotland is capable of improvement. The position, however, may be affected by the findings of the Committee in connection with Church Union, which has 550 begun its sittings, and I am afraid, therefore, that in the meantime I cannot give any undertaking as to legislation.
§ Mr. MUNRONo, but if by any chance the Church Union Committee should deal with the question of commutation of stipends, that would undoubtedly affect the question of whether or not legislation should be introduced on the lines suggested by the hon. Member.
