§ Mr. HOGGEasked the Secretary for Scotland the number of clerks in the 532W Register of Sasines who are qualified solicitors; and whether any of those engage in private practice?
Mr. ADAMSONThere are 29 solicitors employed as clerks in the Sasine Office. I am informed that three of these take out the annual licence which is required to enable them to practise, but I am not aware of the extent to which they actually practise.
