HC Deb 22 June 1921 vol 143 c1390W
Lieut.-Colonel A. MURRAY

asked the Secretary for Scotland whether in certain instances exception has been taken to the appointments to the panels of arbiters, under the Agriculture Act, 1920; and what steps are taken to secure the appointment of universally esteemed practical agriculturists?

Mr. MUNRO

I am aware that in some quarters exception has been taken to the present panel of arbiters appointed for Scotland under the Agriculture Act, 1920. The appointment of the panel rests with the Lord President of the Court of Session. I am not in a position to answer the last part of the question.
