HC Deb 05 March 1923 vol 161 c39
66. Major MACKENZIE WOOD

asked the Prime Minister whether, before the gazetting of titles of honour in Scotland, the Lyon King of Arms is consulted; and, if not, whether he will introduce legislation to make it obligatory that this should be done?

The PRIME MINISTER

Arrangements have recently been made whereby Lyon King of Arms will be consulted in the cases to which the hon. and gallant Member refers.

Major WOOD

'Was the right hon. Gentleman consulted in a recent case which has created great interest in Scotland?

The PRIME MINISTER

I think my answer implied that I was not.

Mr. PRINGLE

Why not make this retrospective?
