HC Deb 25 April 1901 vol 92 cc1327-8
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury if he is now in a position to state whether a decision has been arrived at in regard to the question of increasing the salaries of sheriffs * See preceding volume, page 83. in Scotland; and, if not, can he state when a decision may be expected.

MR. AUSTEN CHAMBERLAIN

The Board of Treasury is in communication with the Secretary for Scotland on the subject, and is not yet in a position to announce a decision.
