§ Mr. McKINLAYasked the Secretary of State for Scotland the names of all the county councils in Scotland which are operating Section 17 (1) of the Local Government (Scotland) Act, 1929?
Mr. W. ADAMSONAll the county councils in Scotland except the separate county councils of Kinross, Moray and Nairn have resolved to pay allowances under Section 17 (1) of the Local Government (Scotland) Act, 1929. In the cases of Ross and Cromarty, Wigtown and Zetland, the resolution does not cover allowances in respect of time lost; in the1824W case of Peebles the resolution only applies to travelling expenses; in the case of Inverness personal expenses are only to be paid where absence from home overnight is entailed.
