§ The Lord AdvocateI have not made any arrangements to visit Glasgow on any specific date, but I do intend in the fairly near future to visit the procurator fiscal there to discuss his workload and the working conditions of his staff.
§ Mr. MonroThat is good news. Will the right hon. and learned Gentleman take the opportunity of going on to Dumbarton and explain what advice he gave to the Secretary of State on the indemnification of councillors who acted illegally? Does he accept the view of the Attorney-General who, when a shadow Law Officer, said that any legislation would set a dangerous precedent?
§ The Lord AdvocateThe hon. Member knows only too well that matters of advice given by Law Officers to other members of the Government are confidential and, therefore, that I cannot answer his question. If he wants a specific answer on any matter in connection with Dunbartonshire, no doubt he will table a Question to my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State.
