§ 7. Dr. FORGANasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether the terms 1658 of reference of the inquiry recently conducted by the Procurator-Fiscal into charges of corrupt practices in the affairs of the Glasgow Town Council included matters other than the licensing bench; if so, whether, in regard to such other matters, charges of a more specific nature implicating individual councillors have been investigated; and whether he will expedite publication of the Lord Advocate's findings in order to restore, in so far as the results of these investigations may permit, the good name, collectively and severally, of the members of the Glasgow Corporation?
§ Mr. JOHNSTONThe investigations which are being made by the Procurator-Fiscal under the instructions of the Lord Advocate are not limited to matters relating to licensing. There will be no avoidable delay on the part of the Lord Advocate in reaching a decision as to what, if any, action it may be his duty to take as a result of these investigations.
