HC Deb 23 February 1987 vol 111 c1W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Solicitor-General for Scotland why the petition for search warrants for the BBC Scotland premises was originally dated 30 January.

The Solicitor-General for Scotland

The petition craving a search warrant for the BBC Scotland premises was first presented on 30 January. The petition which was subsequently presented to Sheriff Lockhart on 31 January was prepared using a copy of the original petition with a revised crave and was accordingly amended by the assistant procurator fiscal to give the correct date.
