HC Deb 25 April 1939 vol 346 c936
4. Mr. McGovern

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland the salary of sheriffs in Glasgow and the salary of county court judges in England; and if he is satisfied with the present salaries and conditions of Glasgow sheriffs?

Mr. Colville

Sheriffs Substitute in Glasgow receive salaries of £1,750 a year, and County Court Judges in England £2,000 a year. The Sheriff Principal of Lanark receives a salary of £2,400 a year. A revision of the salaries of sheriffs was settled in 1937, after consideration from all points of view, and no change is contemplated at present.
