HC Deb 05 April 1898 vol 56 c201
CAPTAIN D. V. PIRIE (Aberdeen, N.)

On behalf of the hon. Member for Wick Burghs, I beg to ask the Lord Advocate whether public officials appointed and paid by the Crown and exercising judicial functions in Scotland may freely deliver political addresses of a partisan character in Scottish constituencies?

MR. GRAHAM MURRAY

I am not prepared to give an answer to an abstract question of this kind in reference to the obligations of persons who are not under my control.
