HC Deb 27 March 1956 vol 550 c181W
80. Mr. Steele

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what consideration he is now giving to arrangements to enable the services of probation officers to be made generally available to assist in conciliation as recommended in paragraph 351 of the Report on Marriage and Divorce.

Mr. J. Stuart

As the Royal Commission point out, there are practical difficulties about such a change in the law; but I shall consider the matter in consultation with the Scottish Central Probation Council.
