HC Deb 14 March 1968 vol 760 c356W
Mrs. Ewing

asked the Lord President of the Council (1) if he will move to amend Standing Orders to allow the Lord Advocate to answer Parliamentary Questions in the House or in the Scottish Grand Committee;

(2) if he will move to amend Standing Orders to allow the Lord Advocate to make Ministerial statements in the House or in the Scottish Grand Committee.

Mr. Crossman

What is suggested is not merely a question of amendment to our Standing Orders, but raises the fundamental point of admitting a non-Member of Parliament to take part in our proceedings in the Chamber or to one of the Committees set up by this House.
