HC Deb 10 April 1974 vol 872 c152W
Mr. Sproat

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland when he intends to make recommendations following his discussion of the Melville Report; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. William Ross

The hon. Member for Ross and Cromarty (Mr. Gray) has decided to sponsor a Bill which, if passed, will implement those of the committee's recommendations that require legislation. The Government have offered assistance in the preparation of this Bill. Apart from that I have nothing to add at present to the reply which I gave on 29th March to my hon. Friend the Member for West Lothian (Mr. Dalyell).—[Vol. 871, c.229.]
