HL Deb 25 July 1887 vol 317 c1846

Moved, "That there be laid before this House Returns of the rental of each county and each parish in Scotland, and of the value of the teinds appertaining thereto, and the value of such portion of them as is now appropriated to the payment of stipend and communion elements, and the value of such of them as are unexhausted by such payments, and which still remain available for the future augmentation of ministers' stipends (in part continuation of Return 235, 1881)."—(The Earl of Minto.)

THE SECRETARY FOR SCOTLAND (The Marquess of LOTHIAN)

said, that after the discussion which took place the other day he made inquiries, and, though he could not undertake that the return would be a complete one, he thought he might be able to give it in a form that would be satisfactory to the noble Earl.

Motion agreed to.
