HC Deb 15 July 1975 vol 895 c435W
Mr. Small

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what consideration he is giving to improvement of electoral machinery in Scotland in view of the burdens which this places on the sheriff clerk service.

Mr. William Ross

I am aware of the practical difficulties arising in the present arrangements and am about to undertake consultations with all currently interested parties as well as with local authorities with a view to identifying the most satisfactory means of solution.
