31. Mr. MacCALLUM SCOTTasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether the Petition of the St. Andrew's Societies of Edinburgh and Glasgow to His Majesty the King regarding the representation of the United Kingdom in matters of heraldry has been considered; and whether any action has been taken or will be taken to give Scotland and Ireland their due representation in all matters of heraldry?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. McKenna)I have received the Petition referred to. A number of points relating to the limits of the jurisdiction of the various Officers of Arms have been referred to the Law Officers of the Three Kingdoms, and until I receive their opinion, I am scarcely in a position to come to any final decision as to the prayer of the Petition.
