Mr. HamiltonTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland when he intends to consult the Lord President of the Court of Session on the implementation of section 25 of the Law Reform (Miscellaneous Provisions) (Scotland) Act 1990; and what considerations underlie the timing of the consultation. [30479]
§ Lord James Douglas-HamiltonI will consult the Lord President shortly. We undertook not to implement section 25 of the Law Reform (Miscellaneous Provisions) (Scotland) Act 1990 until the provisions of section 24 had time to become established.
