47. Major M. WOOD

asked the Prime Minister to whom questions regarding Scotland should ho addressed?

48. Lieut.-Colonel MURRAY

asked the Prime Minister to which Minister of His Majesty's Government in this House questions relating to Scottish affairs should be addressed?

The PRIME MINISTER

Questions should be addressed to the Under-Secretary for Scotland but they will at present be answered on his behalf by the First Commissioner of Works.

Major WOOD

Would the right hon. Gentleman say whether any steps are being taken to secure direct representation in this House for Scottish interests?

The PRIME MINISTER

We shall arrange it as soon as possible. Perhaps the hon. Member would give us his seat?

Mr. N. MACLEAN

Does the right hon. Gentleman not think it advisable that the Secretary for Scotland should be a Member of this House and not a superannuated Commissioner-General in the other House?
