§ Sir J. Duncanasked the Minister of Power whether, in view of the differing decisions in the cases of the Scottish Gas Board v. Fisher in the Paisley Sheriff Court in 1960, and the Scottish Gas Board v. MoIntosh in the Perth Sheriff Court in 1962, he will take steps to so amend the law regarding claims for loss and damage when gas meters are broken into as to make it clear that the consumer concerned will not be liable to pay, in view of the fact that he is only the custodian of the meter.
§ Mr. WoodI am aware of these cases, but I do not consider that the amending legislation proposed by my hon. Friend is called for.
