HC Deb 06 July 1925 vol 186 cc48-9W
Mr. JOHNSTON

asked the Secretary for Scotland whether he is aware that the sheriff substitute, in Glasgow Small Debt Court, on 1st July intimated that an agreement had been come to among the sheriffs of Glasgow not to authorise in future the payment of rent arrears by instalments; if he is aware of the hard ships likely to result from this decision; and if he can take any steps in the matter?

Sir J. GILMOUR

I am making inquiry, and will communicate with the hon. Member as soon as I am in a position to reply.
