§ 38. Mr. Willisasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he has considered the First Report of the Law Reform Committee for Scotland; and what steps he proposes to take.
§ Mr. MaclayI am considering this report in consultation with my right hon. and learned friend the Lord Advocate, and I shall, of course, take into account any representations which are received about its recommendations. I can, however, hold out no prospect of immediate legislation.
§ Mr. WillisWill the right hon. Gentleman bear in mind that a very eminent member of the Scottish Bench has already said that the recommendations regarding the liability of occupiers are urgent and not to be delayed for two or three years?
§ Mr. MaclayThere are many very urgent matters which come into our affairs.
