HC Deb 03 March 1915 vol 70 cc812-3
28. Mr. WATT

asked the Lord Advocate whether the clerkship to the justices of the peace for the Middle Ward of Lanarkshire when it comes to be filled will be an all-time appointment, precluding the holder or holders from continuing in their private practice as law agents, in view of the fact that the position of justice clerk is held to be an advantage over the other members of the legal profession in the district?

The SECRETARY for SCOTLAND (Mr. McKinnon Wood)

As was stated by my right hon. Friend the Lord Advocate on 18th February, matters relating to this appointment are at present under consideration, and the point raised by my hon. Friend's question will not be overlooked.
