§ Mr. Leslieasked the Lord Advocate whether he can now state the result of his investigation into the deductions in wages supplied to the staffs of the Aberdeen British Restaurants and School Dining Schemes; and what action he proposes to take.
§ The Lord AdvocateA complaint about these deductions from wages was made to me, and on inquiry I found that the deductions had already ceased. In my opinion it was not clear that any offence had been committed. In view of this and of the cessation of the practice complained of, I decided not to prosecute.
