HC Deb 24 October 1978 vol 955 cc786-7W
Mr. Watt

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland why he refuses to initiate an investigation into the administration of the Crown Estates in Scotland.

Mr. Millan

The administration of the Crown Estates is entrusted to the Crown Estate Commissioners under the Crown Estate Act 1961, and it would be inappropriate for me to initiate such an investigation.
