HC Deb 28 January 1913 vol 47 c1170
37. Mr. WATT

asked whether Glasgow has recently, under an Act of Parliament, extended her municipal boundaries, and has now about 1,100,000 inhabitants; and, if so, whether the right hon. Gentleman will make representations, in view of these facts, to the authorities to have a branch of the Court of Session set up in that city, from which half of the legal business of Scotland emanates?

Mr. McKINNON WOOD

I am, of course, aware of the recent extension, but I am not prepared to give any pledge.

Mr. WATT

As this matter has been agitated for forty years, can the right hon. Gentleman not raise to himself a monument by bringing it into operation?

Mr. McKINNON WOOD

I will consider the question of the monument.
