HC Deb 04 February 1930 vol 234 c1662
15. Mr. TRAIN

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he proposes to introduce legislation for Scotland on the same lines as the Landlord and Tenant Act for England and Wales?

Mr. JOHNSTON

I am considering this matter, but I am not in a position to hold out any prospects of legislation during the present Session.

Mr. TRAIN

Is the hon. Gentleman aware that there is considerable dissatisfaction among shopkeepers and business-people that they are not getting a fair deal, and that people in England and Wales are much better off than they are; and will he do something to remove this grievance?

Mr. SCRYMGEOUR

Is the hon. Gentleman aware of the strong feeling of many of the shopkeepers about this injustice?

Mr. JOHNSTON

We are aware that there is some dissatisfaction in the matter, but the only point at the moment is the question of Parliamentary time.
