HC Deb 23 June 1902 vol 109 c1384
MR. HUGH LAW (Glasgow, Blackfriars)

I beg to ask the Lord Advocate whether, in view of the fact that the lord mayors of some provincial cities in England, and of some cities in Ireland, are entitled to be addressed as the "right honourable," while the lord provosts of Glasgow and Edinburgh are described as the "honourable," he will endeavour to have the custom in this respect made the same in Scotland as in the rest of the Kingdom.

THE SOLICITOR GENERAL FOR SCOTLAND (Mr. SCOTT DICKSON,) Glasgow, Bridgton

The Lord Provost of Edinburgh is by custom styled "right honourable," and the Lord Provost of Glasgow "honourable," and it is not proposed to make any change in this custom.
