HC Deb 25 October 1955 vol 545 c3W
68. Sir T. Moore

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he has considered some suitable method of commemorating the bicentenary of the poet Robert Burns; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. J. Stuart

I have every confidence that suitable arrangements for commemorating the bicentenary of Robert Burns, which takes place in 1959, will be made by the Burns Federation, whose work in connection with the poet's memory we all admire.
