§ Mr. James Hamiltonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland when he proposes to introduce legislation to bring the law relating to Scottish libraries into line with the rest of the United Kingdom; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Gordon CampbellI hope in the course of the next few months to start consultations with local authorities and others about legislation to consolidate and bring up to date existing enactments on public libraries. It is too early to say when it will be possible to introduce such legislation.
