HC Deb 15 May 1975 vol 892 c168W
Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will institute a review of the law relating to the crime of rape in Scotland in the light of the judgment made by the Law Lords on 30th April.

Mr. William Ross

No. The judgment of the House of Lords on 30th April related only to the criminal law of England and Wales. I am not aware of anything in it that calls for a review of the law of Scotland on the subject.
