§ Mr. MUNRO FERGUSONasked the Lord Advocate whether the attention of the Secretary of Scotland has been called to the published annual reports of the director of the Royal Scottish Museum and to a recent official Return, from which it appears that during the period of 10 years ended 3lst March, 1908, the sum of only £1,274 was expended in Scotland on the purchase of sites, erection of buildings, and extension of existing buildings, while in the same period £550,597 was expended for similar purposes on the London museums; and will he say whether any steps are being taken to provide the increase of accommodation required by the Royal Scottish Museum?
