Is it intended to proceed with the Sheriff Courts and Legal Officers (Scotland) Bill before the Recess?

No, Sir; I am introducing that Bill to-day, but I am afraid there is no hope of proceeding with it before the Recess.

Mr. ALEXANDER:

In view of the unsatisfactory answer which has been given to Question No. 11, I wish to give notice that I shall raise this subject on the Motion for the Adjournment at the earliest possible moment.
