HC Deb 21 June 1938 vol 337 c895
67. Mr. Westwood

asked the Lord Advocate whether he is prepared to issue instructions to Scottish authorities favourably to consider holding police courts in the evening instead of in the morning as at present?

Mr. Wedderburn

When the Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Bill becomes law it will be necessary to issue a circular to the appropriate authorities explaining its provisions, and it is proposed to include in the circular a recommendation that favourable consideration should be given to the question of holding police courts in the evening.
