HC Deb 30 March 1920 vol 127 c1074
58. Mr. A. SHAW

asked the Secretary for Scotland whether he is aware that the statutory fees payable to registrars in Scotland have been unaltered for half a century; and whether it is proposed to take steps to mitigate the hardship involved to these public servants?

The SECRETARY for SCOTLAND (Mr. Munro)

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. I have given directions for the issue of a circular to the local authorities concerned, recommending reconsideration of the remuneration of registrars in view of the altered conditions.
