§ MR. GULLANDTo ask the Secretary for Scotland if he will state the total number of parish councils in Scotland; the number on which women are members; the total number of parish councillors; and the number that are women.
(Answered by Mr. Sinclair) The total number of parish councils in Scotland is 874, the number on which women are members is twenty-two, the total number of parish councillors is 7,920, and the number of women parish councillors is 37. There may have been one or two changes in the above figures since the election in 1904, but they may be taken as substantially correct at the present time.
