HC Deb 19 July 1927 vol 209 cc208-9
15. Mr. T. KENNEDY

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether, and when, the Government propose to introduce legislation extended to Scotland on the lines of the Landlord and Tenant (No. 2) Bill?

Sir J. GILMOUR

I would refer to the reply which I gave on 21st June to a question on this subject by the hon. Member for Camlachie (Mr. Stephen).

Mr. STEPHEN

Has the right hon. Gentleman received a lot of communications from various organisations, and is he now convinced that there is a widespread desire for such legislation?

Sir J. GILMOUR

I have received some communications, but they are not numerous.

Mr. BUCHANAN

Is the right hon. Gentleman not aware that Members of Parliament have received widespread support from various shopkeeping interests, and particularly from supporters of the right hon. Gentleman, for this kind of legislation?
