§ 30. Mr. Stephenasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he will move to appoint a Select Committee to consider measures for the restoration of self-government to Scotland, and to secure the observation of all Scottish rights guaranteed by the Treaty of Union.
§ Mr. BuchananI would refer my hon. Friend to the reply, of which I am sending him a copy, given by the Prime Minister on 10th October to a question asked by the hon. and gallant Member for Perth (Colonel Gomme-Duncan).
§ Mr. StephenWill the hon. Gentleman, in view of his own excellent record in this matter, make representations to the Prime Minister that something must be done to restore self-government to Scotland?
§ Mr. BuchananAll that I can say is that, since my hon. Friend has known me long enough, he must not give me a lift, as he is doing out of friendship, and suggest that I have got that amount of influence with the Prime Minister.
