HC Deb 31 July 1923 vol 167 c1432

(2) This Section shall not apply to any burgh other than Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Dundee, Greenock, or Paisley, unless and until it has been adopted by a resolution of the council of such burgh, which resolution shall be published in the "Edinburgh Gazette," shall be intimated to the Secretary for Scotland, and shall come into force on the expiry of two months after such publication.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL for SCOTLAND

I beg to move, to leave out Sub-section (2).

This is an Amendment which carries out the desire expressed by the Scottish Committee, making Clause 1 apply automatically to all Scottish burghs instead of the six which were originally mentioned.

Amendment agreed to.
