§ MR. WILKIE () DundeeTo ask the Secretary for Scotland if he could state 1046 the reason of the delay in the assent of the Scottish Office being given to the resolution of the Dundee City Council of last May granting the policemen of that city an advance of 1s. 9d. per head per week; and if he will state when an affirmative answer will be forwarded.
§ (Answered by Mr Sinclair.) The proposals advanced by the Dundee City Council raised questions of some intricacy involving comparison with the rates of pay enjoyed by other police forces. A letter has been despatched intimating to what extent the alterations suggested have been approved.
