HC Deb 11 February 1895 vol 30 cc454-5
MR. J. CALDWELL (Mid Lanark)

I beg to ask the Lord Advocate whether he will issue instructions to the Procurator Fiscal of Lanarkshire, that in the event of an application being made for the consent of the Crown to an action for Breach of Interdict arising out of the decision in the Merry and Cunninghame case, the application be reported to the Lord Advocate, and his sanction obtained before such consent is given?

Mr. J. B. BALFOUR

I shall send to the Procurator Fiscal a copy of the answers which I have given to my hon. Friend in the House. These will show the conditions which should, in my judgment, be fulfilled before a consent to a petition and complaint in respect of an alleged breach of the Interdict in question is given.
