HC Deb 12 February 2002 vol 380 c62
26. Mr. George Galloway (Glasgow, Kelvin)

What devolution issues have been raised in the last month under the Scotland Act 1998. [32357]

The Advocate-General for Scotland (Dr. Lynda Clark)

Since 1 January 2002, 19 devolution issue cases have been intimated to me. They all raised points under article 6 of the European convention on human rights, which protects the right to a fair trial.

Mr. Galloway

But has not the Advocate-General considered the extraordinary story of the Scottish police showering Anthony Gauci, the key prosecution witness in the Lockerbie trial, with hunting, shooting and fishing holidays, five-star holidays—

Mr. Speaker

Order. I must stop the hon. Gentleman. That matter is sub judice. Under the sub judice rules, the Advocate-General should not respond to that question.
