HC Deb 24 June 1980 vol 987 c104W
Miss Richardson

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what action his Department has taken since 3 May 1979 on any recommendation of the Finer committee for which it is wholly or partly responsible.

Mr. Rifkind

Certain of the recommendations relating to civil law and civil procedure in Scotland are to be given further consideration in the light of the report of the Royal Commission on legal services in Scotland and forthcoming reports of the Scottish Law Commission on family law and the spouse's right to occupancy of the matrimonial home.
