§ Mr. Hector Hughesasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether, in view of the numerous and responsible duties carried out by the Scottish sheriff court judges, he will now invite them into consultation with him with a view to having their salaries increased to the level of those now paid to the county court judges in England.
§ Mr. WestwoodAfter careful consideration of the representations made by the Association of Sheriffs-Substitute, their salaries were revised three months ago. There has been no change of circumstances which would justify a further review.
