§ 16. Mr. HENDERSON STEWARTasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what is the cause of the long delay in bringing forward the Bill dealing with damage done by red deer?
§ Mr. SKELTONThe negotiations with the various interests concerned, which have taken considerable time, have now been completed but my right hon. Friend is not in a position to make a statement as to the introduction of the Bill.
§ Mr. STEWARTIn view of the very long delay, can my hon. Friend give any indication when we may expect this Measure?
§ Mr. SKELTONNo. I am afraid I cannot add anything on that point to what I have already said.
