HC Deb 15 March 1894 vol 22 c336
MR. A. CROSS (Glasgow, Camlachie)

I beg to ask the Lord Advocate can County Councils in Scotland, if they so resolve, hold their statutory meetings outside their respective counties?

* THE LORD ADVOCATE (Mr. J. B. BALFOUR)

I do not find any warrant in the Act for County Councils holding their statutory meetings outside their counties. Provision is made in the Act for Committees meeting outside the county, but there is no similar provision in regard to the meetings of County Councils.

MR. A. CROSS

Are we to presume they cannot meet outside their counties?

MR. J. B. BALFOUR

There is no statutory provision on the point.
