Part of Orders of the Day — Local Government (Scotland) Bill. – in the House of Commons am ar 26 Ebrill 1929.
This is really a drafting Amendment. It is to make clear that the functions which are transferred are those that are exerciseable in respect of the area, quite irrespective of the situation of the property held for the purpose of the function. Let me give an example. The function of a parish council under the Burial Grounds Act, may be exerciseable in respect of the burgh as well as of the landward area, if the burial ground were within the burgh. This Amendment makes it clear that the whole functions as regards the burial ground are not transferred, but only so far as exerciseable, as far as the burgh is included therein.
