63 and 64. Mr. Edward Taylorasked the Secretary of State for Scotland (1) if he is satisfied with the present procedures for enforcing warrant sales in Scotland; and if he will make a statement;
(2) if he will take steps to ensure that household effects subject to sale by warrant in consequence of debts incurred by the householder are carried out elsewhere than in the debtor's own home.
§ Mr. Gordon CampbellI would refer my hon. Friend to the reply which I gave to my hon. Friend the Member for Edinburgh. South (Mr. Clark Hutchison) on 7th February. I have no doubt that the 'Working Party which has been set up by the Scottish Law Commission will have regard to my hon. Friend's suggestion: there is no rule which requires a sale under warrant to take place in a debtor's home, although this is the normal practice.—[Vol. 830, c.281.]
