HC Deb 16 February 1937 vol 320 c990
40. Sir Douglas Thomson

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he is yet in a position to make a statement with regard to the salaries of sheriffs-substitute?

Mr. Elliot

I am at present unable to add to my reply to a question on this subject by the hon. Member for Dunbartonshire (Mr. Cassells) on 15th December.

Sir D. Thomson

In view of the considerable time that has elapsed since then, will my right hon. Friend endeavour to come to an early decision?

Mr. Elliot

I will do my best.
