HC Deb 29 April 1898 vol 56 cc1545-6
MR. JOHN WILSON (Govan)

I beg to ash the Lord Advocate whether he has received a communication from the town clerk of Govan on the subject of certain vexatious proceedings in the Scottish Courts; and whether, in view of the facts therein staled, he is prepared, on behalf of the Government, to bring in a Bill extending to Scotland the provisions of the Vexatious Actions Act, 1896?

MR. GRAHAM MURRAY

I have received the communication referred to. I am sensible of the grievance which exists, and should be willing to introduce a Bill if opportunity arose, but I can give no undertaking to do so this Session.

MR. J. WILSON (Govan)

On what lines would it run?

MR. GRAHAM MURRAY

On the same lines as the Bill of last year.
