§ MR. MITCHELL-THOMSON (LANARKSHIRE, N.W.)To ask the Secretary for Scotland whether the flag with the device 544 Or, a lion rampant within a double tressure flory counterflory, gules, is the personal flag of the Sovereign in Scotland; and, if not, when it ceased to be so used.
§ THE FINANCIAL SECRETARY TO THE WAR OFFICE (MR. BUCHANAN, Perthshire, E.)The flag as described was the personal flag of the Sovereign in Scotland, and in a sense may be held to be so still, but it has ceased to be so used since the time of the Union.
§ MR. MITCHELL-THOMSONDo I understand that the flag may be used now by anyone without qualification in Scotland?
§ MR. BUCHANANI do not think the hon. Gentleman had better under-stand that.
