§ 4. Sir J. Duncanasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether the discussions he has been having with various interests regarding grey seals have now been completed; and whether he will make a statement.
§ Lord John HopeMy right hon. Friend regrets that he cannot yet add to the Answer he gave to my hon. Friend on the 21st March.
§ Sir J. DuncanWhile thanking my noble Friend for that reply, may I ask, if I put down another Question after Whitsuntide, whether he will be able to deal with it?
§ Lord John HopeI cannot say when we shall be able to go any further, but I hope it will be very soon.
