Part of Orders of the Day — Local Government (Scotland) Bill. – in the House of Commons am ar 26 Ebrill 1929.
The hon. Member for Dunfermline (Mr. W. M. Watson) raised this question rather as a comparison with what is proposed in this particular Amendment, but it really would not be in order, or relevant on this particular Amendment, to discuss on its merits the payment of other types of councillors. The object of the Amendment is to increase the charge by altering the maximum rates of allowances, and the people to whom it is paid are strictly regulated by Clause 7 of the Bill. It would be out of order to make suggestions for the payment of other councillors.
