Lords AmendmentIn page 41, line 12, at the end, insert:
A committee appointed for the purposes of the Public Libraries (Scotland) Acts, 1887 to 1920
§ Mr. Deputy-SpeakerThis Amendment raises a question of Privilege.
§ Mr. ElliotI beg to move, "That this House doth agree with the Lords in the said Amendment."
I hope that no exception will be taken by the House to this Amendment, although it raises a question of Privilege. It will place all library officials on a new basis as regards superannuation. In counties such officials who are directly employed by a county automatically come within the superannuation scheme. In the burghs such officials are normally employed by the library committees. The Amendment secures that they will automatically come within the scheme.
§ Question put, and agreed to.—[Special entry.]
