§ 87. Mr. WATTasked the Lord Advocate whether any action has yet been taken by 532 his Department to deal with minor legal appointments; if so, will he say whether any of the reforms contemplated can be dealt with by administration without the necessity for legislation; and when it may be expected that his Department will deal administratively with these?
Mr. McKINNON WOODI refer my hon. Friend to the answer given by me to my hon. Friends the Members for Wick Burghs and Ross and Cromarty on 1st August last. I can assure my hon. Friend that the matters to which he refers have not escaped my attention.
