HC Deb 18 June 1975 vol 893 c442W
25. Mr. David Steel

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he will make a statement about the regular delays within the Scottish courts' administration in fixing proofs for action of divorce.

Mr. Harry Ewing

Delays in fixing proofs in undefended divorces in Court of Session occurred following the introduction of a new procedure at the beginning of the year. New working arrangements have, however, been adopted, and dates for all proofs have now been fixed.
