§ 44. Major Ramsayasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he will inform the House as to the date by which the Scottish Water Rating Committee will publish its Report.
§ Mr. BuchananThe Committee have not yet submitted their report to the Secretary of State. As soon as they do so the question of publication will be considered.
§ Major RamsayWill the report be printed by 4th December, when the Scottish Water Bill will come before this House?
§ Mr. BuchananIt must be obvious to the hon. and gallant Member that it cannot. The Committee have not reported to us yet, and it is now almost the end of November. When the Committee does report, it is for the Secretary of State for Scotland to say when the report can be printed.
