The present position is that under the general Orders the appointment of time and place for examinations shall be in the discretion of the Commissioners, provided that where it appears to be for the general convenience of the parties interested, or otherwise advisable, the examination shall be held in Scotland. Accordingly, at the present time what determines the question whether the examination shall take place in London or in Edinburgh is solely the convenience of the parties, and not the convenience of the Examiners or anyone else. It would be inappropriate by legislation to compel examinations to take place in London, even although that was contrary to the convenience of the promoters and other parties interested in the Orders. If hereafter the promoters choose to employ Parliamentary agents in Edinburgh, the result will be that the examinations will, in an increasing degree, take place in Edinburgh, which will be a convenient place for them, and the existing provisions give all the necessary power for an examination to take place in Edinburgh unless it is inconvenient to hold it there. Therefore, I must oppose the proposed new Clause.
