§ Brigadier-General CHARTERISasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he is prepared to take steps to extend to local authorities of rural areas in Scotland the power conferred on town councils by the Burgh Police (Scotland) Act, 1903, of regulating the hours of opening of places of public amusement?
§ Sir J. GILMOURI am prepared to consider this proposal when an opportunity for legislation occurs, if it is limited to county councils and has the general support of county councils.
