§ 21. Mr. Rossasked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many copies of the 1956 edition of "Handbook on Scottish Administration" have been printed and at what cost; and how many copies of the 1950 edition were printed and how many were sold.
§ Mr. J. StuartFour thousand copies of the 1956 edition of the "Handbook on Scottish Administration" have been printed at an estimated cost of £ 171. A total of 5,575 copies were printed of the 1950 edition, and stocks were exhausted some months ago.
§ Mr. RossWill the Secretary of State see to it that copies of this excellent handbook are sent to the Lord Privy Seal and to any other obstreperous Member who questions our rights, at times, to take up time in this Chamber, so that when next we raise the point about the adequacy of the facilities of Scottish Members for asking Questions they will be a little more knowledgeable and, perhaps, a little more sympathetic?
§ Mr. StuartI will examine that point.
