§ Mr. SpeakerThe Question to be answered is No. 33.

§ Mr. SproatArising out of the Thomson Committee, will the Lord Advocate support a change in the system whereby a trivial procedural error by a member of the legal profession, such as we have just seen, can result in legal proceedings being totally abandoned, resulting in a travesty of justice for those concerned, as happened recently in the case of my constituent Mr. L.

§ The Lord AdvocateNow that I have the right Question, it would be desirable not to comment. If the hon. Gentleman has specific points that he wishes to make about that case, he should perhaps write to me.
