HC Deb 15 November 1927 vol 210 cc819-20
40. Mr. STEPHEN

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he intends to introduce legislation for Scotland on the lines of the present Landlord and Tenant Bill?

Sir J. GILMOUR

I am keeping this matter in view, but I am not in a position to make a definite statement on the subject.

Mr. SCRYMGEOUR

Has the right hon. Gentleman himself not received representations, such as we have received, asking that this Bill should be applied to Scotland?

Sir J. GILMOUR

I have received a certain number of representations, but the Bill for England is not yet through this House?

Mr. BUCHANAN

Will the right hon. Gentleman be able to make any statement before the House adjourns at the end of this Session, as to the Government's intentions in regard to Scotland in this matter?

Sir J. GILMOUR

I suggest that a question might be put down at a later stage in the Session.
