HC Deb 27 February 1958 vol 583 cc81-2W
Sir I. Clark Hutchison

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland when he intends to give effect to the recommendations of the Franks Committee in relation to Scottish inquiries.

Mr. Maclay

Consultations are in progress with the Scottish local authority associations about the detailed arrangements necessary to give effect to those of the relevant recommendations that the Government have accepted, so far as this can be done by administrative means. I hope that the new arrangements can be brought into operation within the next few weeks.
