HC Deb 24 July 1978 vol 954 cc584-5W
Mr. Russell Johnston

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he has yet come to a decision about whether or not to recommend the exercise of the Prerogative of Mercy for drivers convicted in connection with the traffic scheme in Inverness, which was referred to him by the Lord Advocate.

Mr. Milan

I have now completed the necessary consultations and I have decided to submit to Her Majesty a recommendation for the exercise of the Royal Prerogative of Mercy to grant a free pardon to 38 persons who were convicted at Inverness Sheriff Court of contravening provisions of the Highland Regional Council (Inverness Traffic Management Scheme) Order 1976.
