§ 1. Mr. LEONARDasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he can see his way clear to permit the Scottish warders to submit the interpretation of Clause 18 of the Stanhope Report, with particular reference to lines 3 and 4, to the Industrial Court for a ruling as to the inclusion or otherwise of the staff of the Criminal Lunatic Department at Perth?
§ The SECRETARY of STATE for SCOTLAND (Sir Godfrey Collins)The answer is in the negative. The matter is outwith the scope of the Industrial Court, and it is not in my view a suitable subject for arbitration.
