§ Mr. CHARLES PRICEasked the Secretary for Scotland whether there is any authority for using the English Royal Standard at the Royal residence of Holyrood House, Edinburgh, during the visit of their Majesties King George and Queen Mary; whether he is aware that the Royal Standard in Scotland contains, according to the Act of Union, the Scottish lion rampant in the first and fourth quarters; 2132W and whether in future he will see that the latter Standard is used?
Mr. McKINNON WOODThe Standard which was used at Holyrood was the Standard of the United Kingdom, the quarterings of which are settled by the Royal Proclamation of 1st January, 1801, which followed on the Act of Union of 1800. I am not aware of any provision in the Act of Union to the effect mentioned by my hon. Friend.
