§ 52. Mr. T. JOHNSTONasked 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 MINISTERAs 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. WARDWhen the right hon. Gentleman receives this deputation of Scottish Members, will he also receive a deputation from the English Members on the same subject?
