Part of Orders of the Day — Local Government (Scotland) Bill. – in the House of Commons at on 7 February 1929.
I beg to move, as an Amendment to the proposed Amendment, in line 4, to leave out the word "one-half," and to insert instead thereof the word "one-third."
The Amendment is designed to reduce the number of co-opted members. All through we have opposed this principle of co-option, and while we have not succeeded in wiping it out entirely, we want to reduce to a minimum what we believe to be an unfair thing in education.
