Mr. NEWMANasked the Prime Minister whether, before the promised measure to confer self-government on the Kingdom of Scotland is proceeded with, it is his intention to reorganise the Scottish Legal Department; and whether in any such reorganisation the office of Lord Advocate will be discontinued or amalgamated and the salary attached diverted to other purposes?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI am not aware of any grounds for such reorganisation as the hon. Member suggests.
§ Mr. NEWMANIs the right hon. Gentleman aware that the present holder of this office found time to address twenty-six meetings in connection with the recent London County Council election?
