§ Mr. David Steelasked the Solicitor-General for Scotland when he expects the Hunter inquiry into the Meehan case to produce its report; if he is satisfied with the progress being made by this inquiry; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. YoungerI have been asked to reply since this is a matter for me rather than for the Law Officers.
The conduct of the inquiry is a matter for Lord Hunter, who was appointed to undertake it: I understand that his report is now in its final stages and should be submitted to me soon.
