§ In the case of every burgh where the Secretary for Scotland so requires, it shall be the duty of the town council from time to time to appoint a committee, which may consist in whole or in part of persons who are not members of the council, to consult with the council on matters relating to the provision, equipment, and management of allotments.
§ Mr. MUNROI beg to move, to leave out the words "from time to time" and to insert instead thereof the word "annually."
This is a formal Amendment to meet the point raised upstairs by the hon. Gentleman the Member for East Edinburgh. My hon. Friend pointed out that nearly all town council committees were, in point of fact, appointed annually, and, on consideration, I have come to think he is right.
Amendment agreed to.
