HC Deb 19 July 1923 vol 166 c2488
52. Mr. T. JOHNSTON

asked the Prime Minister if he is prepared to receive a deputation from Scottish Members of Parliament who desire to represent to him reasons why the Government should set up a convention in Scotland for the purpose of preparing and drafting a detailed scheme of home rule for Scotland?

The PRIME MINISTER

As the hon. Member will appreciate, other matters of very urgent importance make it difficult for me to find time to receive the proposed deputation. I hope, therefore, that he will not press his request at the present time.

Lieut.-Colonel J. WARD

When the right hon. Gentleman receives this deputation of Scottish Members, will he also receive a deputation from the English Members on the same subject?
