§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Lord Advocate whether he will publish in the Official Report a detailed list of the Secondary Legislation of the Rules, Regulations and Decisions of the European Economic Community which will affect his Department and its ministerial responsibilities; in what way each such piece of legislation will affect his departmental activities; and to what extent he has met, or intends to meet employers, trade unions, industrial representatives, lawyers and the Scottish Bar Council and trade associations to discuss the effects of such legislation on British industry in general and matters falling within his ministerial responsibilities.
§ The Lord AdvocateAs my responsibilities extend to advising Her Majesty's Government on any legal issues affecting Scotland referred to me, it is not practicable to distinguish between parts of the Secondary Legislation which do and do not affect them. Where discussions with professional or other representative bodies are necessary or desirable, these will be undertaken.
