§ MR. WALLACE (Perthshire)I beg to ask the Lord Advocate if any report has yet been received from the Departmental Committee on Sheriff Court Procedure appointed more than two years ago; and, if such report has been received, whether the Government propose to take any action on the same; and, if no report has yet been made, can he state when the same may be expected.
§ * THE LORD ADVOCATE (Mr. A. GRAHAM MURRAY,) ButeshireThe Report has not yet been made, nor can I name any definite time at which it may be expected. The reference to the Committee was a very wide one, and the constitution of the Committee is such that it can only meet during the winter months.
