§ Mr. MaclaySome months ago I received representations from several business and professional women's clubs about the law of intestate succession and recently several hon. Members have sent 105W me copies of a circular letter from the Scottish Law Agents' Society pressing for legislation to amend this branch of the law. I am replying to the recent represeitations to the effect that I regret that I can see no prospect of legislation on that subject during the current Session of Parliament.
