§ MR. A. R. SOUTTAR (Dumfriesshire)I beg to ask the Lord Advocate whether he has been able to make the inquiry, promised last Session, into the conditions under which pensions are granted to the Scottish police; and whether he can now see his way to redress the existing inequality, by raising them to the same level as in England?
§ THE LORD ADVOCATEInquiry has been made into this matter, but no decision has yet been arrived at. As the hon. Member is aware, special legislation will be necessary if a change is to be made.
