§ Mr. R. Gibsonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many county clerks and town clerks, respectively, there are in Scotland; how many of these, respectively, have assistants; and what are the numbers of these assistants?
Mr. WedderburnIn each of the 33 counties and 195 burghs in Scotland there are one or more clerks to the local authority. I regret that I am not in possession of particulars as to cases in which joint clerks or assistant clerks have been appointed, or as to the numbers of such assistants.
