MEMORANDUM.

This Bill provides for the establishment in Scotland of a single chamber Parliament dealing with Scottish affairs which shall have sovereign power to make laws for the peace, order, and good government of Scotland, (and an Executive Committee to aid and advise His Majesty's representative in Scotland responsible to that Parliament), deriving its power from the people of Scotland voting in parliamentary elections. It shall consist of 148 members representing the existing constituencies and returned by the parliamentary electors as defined in the Bill.

The representation of Scotland in the Commons House of the Imperial Parliament will cease at the date when the Scottish Parliament is constituted. The members of the Imperial Parliament who represent Scottish constituencies shall then retire from that Parliament and no others shall thereafter be elected.

The executive power will continue vested in His Majesty the King, who will be represented in Scotland by a Lord High Commissioner who shall be appointed in like manner as the Governor-General of Canada, and in accordance with the practice observed in the making of such appointments. The administration will be carried on by the Lord High Commissioner advised by an Executive Committee of a Scottish Privy Council.

The control of all persons and matters in Scotland at present vested in and controlled by the Imperial Parliament at Westminster shall be transferred from the Imperial Parliament at Westminster to the Scots Parliament and with the exception of the Navy, the Army, the Air Force, and the Foreign Office; in this Bill referred to as "Joint Services" which shall be administered jointly by the Scots and Imperial Parliaments except as otherwise provided for, all the national services and departments, including the postal, telegraph, telephone and wireless services, the administration of Old Age Pensions, National Health and Unemployment Insurance, and customs and excise, shall be under the sole control of the Scots Parliament.
