HC Deb 28 July 1980 vol 989 c578W
Mr. Ron Brown

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether, now that the Scottish Law Commission has produced its report and draft Bill on occupancy rights in the matrimonial home and domestic violence, he will give an undertaking that legislation on this subject will be introduced in the next Session of Parliament.

Mr. Rifkind

My right hon. Friend is considering urgently the possibility of Government legislation on this subject.
