HC Deb 07 November 1921 vol 148 c78W
Captain W. BENN

asked the Secretary for Scotland whether a servant of the Leith Corporation, who has accepted a position under the Edinburgh Corporation at the time of the amalgamation of the two areas, is entitled now to retire and receive compensation?

Mr. MORISON

I would refer my hon. and gallant Friend to the provisions of Sections 89 and 90 of the Edinburgh Boundaries Extension and Tramways Act, 1920, which deal with the rights to compensation of officers of the Leith Town Council who accepted office under the Edinburgh Corporation at the time of the amalgamation of the two areas.
