§ 18. Mr. Hannanasked the Secretary of State for Scotland when he proposes to introduce legislation to amend the law of succession in Scotland.
§ Mr. MaclayI regret that I am not yet able to say when it will be possible to introduce legislation on this subject.
§ Mr. HannanThe Secretary of State is expressing quite a number of regrets today. Is he aware that there is greater necessity for the implementation of the Report in this case than of the Reports which were the subject of Question No. 17? Is the right hon. Gentleman also aware that this Report was presented as far back as 1950? Will he look at the matter again?
§ Mr. MaclayI am conscious of the desirability of legislation on this, as on many other subjects. I have the point mentioned by the hon. Member very much in mind.
