HC Deb 13 December 1900 vol 88 c706
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the Lord Advocate if he will state when the Report of the Committee appointed to consider the question of increasing the salaries of sheriffs in Scotland will be laid upon the Table of the House.

MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN

The Committee in question was a departmental one, which reported only for the information of the Scottish Office and the Treasury, and it is not proposed to lay the Report upon the Table of the House.

MR. WEIR

Does the Report recommend an increase of these miserably small salaries?

* MR. SPEAKER

The hon. Member must give notice of that question.
