HC Deb 24 February 1930 vol 235 cc1872-3
79. Mr. SORENSEN

asked the Attorney-General whether, as the office of King's Proctor is deemed unnecessary in Scotland, he will consider the desirability of abolishing the office in England?

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL (Sir James Melville)

In view of the complete divergence between the legal systems of England and Scotland the reason given by the hon. Member is not a ground for abolishing the office in question.

Mr. MACQUISTEN

Is it not the case that a King's Proctor is not needed in Scotland because of the superior veracity of the Scottish people?

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL

I have no information at all on that matter.
