§ 43. Mr. Canavanasked the Solicitor-General for Scotland when he next expects to meet the Scottish Law Commission.
§ The Solicitor-General for ScotlandNeither I nor my right hon. and noble Friend the Lord Advocate at present have any plans to meet the Scottish Law Commission, but meetings are held when and as necessary.
§ Mr. CanavanAs we have been waiting almost a decade for the Commission's report on the law of diligence, including warrant sales, will the Solicitor- 420 General tell the Law Commission to stop dragging its feet? Will he also tell his Government to stop instructing one of their stooges from the Whips' Office to come here Friday after Friday in order to block my Private Member's Bill to abolish warrant sales?
§ The Solicitor-General for ScotlandIf it has taken as worthy, as wise and as diligent a Commission as this one 10 years to look into the law of diligence in Scotland, it is unlikely that a failed mad monk can do it on a Friday afternoon.
