HC Deb 14 March 1933 vol 275 c1792W
Mr. GUY

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether, in view of the fact that the St. Andrew's Cross, technically described as Azure a saltire argent, is registered as the arms or badge proper and peculiar to the kingdom of Scotland and is available for general use as the national ensign and heraldic emblem of Scotland, he will issue a revised edition of Police Circular 520 of 1907 restricting the use of the lion rampant to those entitled to display it and permitting the display of the St. Andrew's Cross?

Sir G. COLLINS

With regard to the St. Andrew's Cross, there is no need for me to issue a circular permitting it to be displayed. As regards the Lion flag, I have not so far seen sufficient reason for departing from the attitude adopted by my predecessors in office since 1907.
