HC Deb 02 July 1980 vol 987 c577W
Mr. William Hamilton

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what legislative proposals he intends to initiate on matters of family law, illegitimacy and the rights of women; and what has emanated from the Law Commission on these matters in the last two years.

Mr. Rifkind

These matters are included in the Scottish Law Commission's continuing review on family law. The commission's report on occupancy rights in the matrimonial home and domestic violence will be published shortly, and they hope to complete its report on the law of ailment and financial provision later this year.
