HC Deb 18 July 1933 vol 280 cc1721-2
The LORD ADVOCATE

I beg to move, in page 16, line 26, after the second word "of,"to insert the words "Principal Clerk of Justiciary."

I can explain the purpose of this Amendment. We have taken words out of Clause 23, in regard to the right of appointing the Principal Clerk of Justiciary, and the purpose of the Amendment is to clarify the Lord Advocate's existing rights of nomination.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendment made: In line 29, at the end, insert the words "and shall be exercised on nomination by the Lord Advocate."—[The Lord Advocate.]
