28. Mr. LINDSAY

asked the Secretary for Scotland if the whole cost of the polls under the Temperance (Scotland) Act, 1913, which were taken last year, falls on the local authorities; and, if not, how much is borne by the Exchequer?

The LORD ADVOCATE (Mr. Morison)

The whole cost falls on the local authorities, that is, on county and town councils.
