HC Deb 24 July 1922 vol 157 c48W
Captain BENN

asked the Secretary for Scotland whether his attention has been called to the judgment by Lord Blackburn in the case of the Edinburgh Corporation v. Messrs. Kersans, Limited; and whether he proposes to introduce amending legislation to the local Act of 1850, on which this judgment, which is likely to be prejudicial to a considerable local industry, is based?

Mr. MUNRO

Proposals for the amendment of a private Act relating to the Corporation of Edinburgh ought, in the first instance, to be considered by the Corporation, and I suggest to my hon. and gallant Friend that he should address his representations to that body.

Forward to
