HC Deb 02 November 1930 vol 134 c192
61. Lieut.-Colonel Sir J. HOPE

asked the Secretary for Scotland when the Bill dealing with Fiars Prices in Scotland will be presented?

Mr. MUNRO

My hon. and gallant Friend probably refers to the Bill to deal with Teinds and Stipends. The Bill has now been drafted, and I hope it may be possible to introduce it at an early date.

Sir J. HOPE

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that if this Bill is not passed this Session a totally new situation will arise, and the whole of the agreement that has been arrived at between the parties concerned, after considerable time and difficulty, will be lost?

Mr. MUNRO

As I was a party to the consultation between the interests concerned, I am well aware of the urgency of the matter, and I hope, therefore, it may be possible to pass the Bill.

Sir J. HOPE

This Session?

Mr. MUNRO

I hope so.
