HC Deb 17 November 1908 vol 196 cc1061-2
MR. MARKHAM (Nottinghamshire, Mansfield)

I beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland will he say under what Act of Parliament county council authorities Scotland have powers to reduce the speed of motor cars in villages to ten miles per hour; and whether he has granted powers of local self-government to county councils relating to the speed of motor traffic.

THE SECRETARY FOR SCOTLAND (Mr. SINCLAIR,) Forfarshire

There is no Act conferring the powers referred to in the first part of the Question. The Secretary for Scotland has no power to proceed as suggested in the second part of the Question.
