MARQUESS of TULLIBARDINEasked the Secretary for Scotland why the figures for the Gaelic-speaking population for different parishes in Inverness-shire, Ross-shire, and Sutherland were given in Volume I. of the Census of 1911 and were not given in Volume II. for all the Scottish counties; and whether he can publish a Return showing the distribution of the 9,038 Gaelic-speaking persons in other counties, such information being required to enable the various churches to arrange for providing services in Gaelic, where required, and also useful for the provision of medical benefit?
Mr. McKINNON WOODI am not in a position to answer the Noble Lord's question, which only appeared on the Paper yesterday, without consulting the Registrar-General for Scotland, which I propose to do.
