83. Lieut.-Colonel Sir J. HOPEasked the Secretary for Scotland what action he proposes to take to give effect to the recommendations of the Departmental Committee on Local Taxation in Scotland?
§ The LORD ADVOCATE (Mr. C. D. Murray)My right hon. Friend is at present considering the Report of this Committee. He is not yet in a position to make any announcement as to the action he may take.
Sir J. HOPEWill the right hon. Gentleman be able to make a statement on this question before the House rises, in view of the different education rates in different parishes of the same county?
§ Mr. MURRAYThere will be no undue delay, considering the complexity of the subject.
