§ MR. WATT (Glasgow, College)I beg to ask the Lord-Advocate, in view of the dissatisfaction felt in Scotland with the inaction of county councils in defending public rights of way, if he will introduce legislation giving parish councils and landward committees power to initiate such actions.
§ MR. SINCLAIRI am in sympathy with the purpose of my hon. friend, but it is not possible for me to give an undertaking to introduce legislation on the subject during the present session.
