HC Deb 03 June 1924 vol 174 cc1054-5
27. Sir R. HAMILTON

asked the Secretary for Scotland when he proposes to introduce his Bill dealing with the resumption of small holdings?

Mr. STEWART

My right hon. Friend regrets that he is not yet in a position to make a statement as to the introduction of a. Bill dealing with the resumption of small holdings.

Sir R. HAMILTON

Can the hon. Member say when his right hon. Friend is likely to be in a position to make the necessary statement?

Mr. MACPHERSON

Is not the hon. Member aware that the right hon. Gentleman last week said that his Bill was in draft?

Mr. STEWART

I think I had better refer that to my right hon. Friend to explain.
