HC Deb 12 July 1979 vol 970 c278W
Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will make a statement on the investigation of the Scottish Law Commission of the laws relating to illegitimacy; and when the report is likely to be published.

Mr. Rifkind

The Scottish Law Commission is not carrying out separate investigation of the law relating to illegitimacy as such, though many aspects fall within the scope of its studies on family law and succession.
