HC Deb 03 June 1924 vol 174 cc1055-6
32. Mr. MacGREGOR MITCHELL

asked the Secretary for Scotland how many times the Scottish Council of Agriculture and its Advisory Committee met in 1923; and what was the cost of these meetings?

Mr. STEWART

One meeting of the Scottish Council of Agriculture and two meetings of its Advisory Committee were held in 1923. Information as to the cost of these meetings has not yet reached my right hon. Friend, but he will communicate it to the hon. and learned Member when he receives it.

Mr. MAXTON

Will there be any possibility of the Council being summoned together more frequently during 1924?

Mr. STEWART

I would hope so.

Mr. MAXTON

So would I.
