A great deal has been done following the Report of the Royal Commission and by the present Government. The offices of the Ministers have been increased specially for Scotland. There has been the transfer of electricity, highways, justices of the peace and animal health following the recommendations of the Commission. It was fairly recently that the new operation of the Scottish Grand Committee was agreed upon and the Standing Orders were revised only a year ago. While I am quite sure that everything should be done to get full discussion of Scottish questions in the Scottish Grand Committee and elsewhere, I would not have thought the House as a whole was dissatisfied with these new arrangements.
