HC Deb 30 June 1896 vol 42 c388
DR. CLARK () Caithness

I beg to ask the Lord Advocate whether he is aware that the Canisbay Parish Council sent to the Secretary for Scotland, on 30th March, proposing regulations for the letting of allotments, and that the Parish Council, on 22nd April, again asked for confirmation of the regulations; and, could he state why no decision has been given in the matter?

THE LORD ADVOCATE (Mr. GRAHAM MURRAY,) Buteshire

The regulations referred to by the hon. Member were amongst the first of the kind transmitted to the Secretary for Scotland for confirmation, in pursuance of the 26th Section of the Local Government (Scotland) Act, 1894, and as the case will form a precedent, the terms of the regulations had to be specially considered. The regulations, as proposed to be modified, are now ready, and are being sent in draft to the Canisbay Parish Council.
