§ 66. Mr. Kennedyasked the Secretary of State for Scotland the number of Parliamentary days on which the discussion of Scottish Departmental business took place during 1937 and 1938, respectively?
§ The Secretary of State for Scotland (Mr. Colville)In 1937, business solely concerning Scottish Departments was discussed in the House, or in Committee of the Whole House, on 18 days. Business for which English and Scottish Departments are jointly responsible was similarly discussed on 42 other days. The corresponding days for 1938 (to date) are 19 and 35 respectively. These figures do not include business which is of interest to Scotland but for which I am not Departmentally responsible.
