HC Deb 22 June 1891 vol 354 cc1054-5
MR. LYELL (Orkney and Shetland)

I beg to ask the Lord Advocate whether, in the administration of the highways under "The Local Government Act, 1889," Section 77, it is competent to the County Council of Zetland to constitute the whole county one district for highway purposes, not with standing that the county contains more than six parishes, and has been divided into districts for the purposes of the management and maintenance of highways under the Local Road Act in force prior to the enactment of the Local Government Act of 1889.

*THE LORD ADVOCATE (Mr. J. P. B. ROBERTSON,) Bute

I have not yet received information to enable me to answer this question.
