HC Deb 13 May 1981 vol 4 c281W
32. Mr. Carmichael

asked the Solicitor-General for Scotland what further guidance he plans to give about the tape recording of questioning of suspects under section 2 of the Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 1980.

The Solicitor-General for Scotland

While there are no plans to issue instructions specifically related either to tape recording of interrogations or to questioning under section 2 of the Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 1980, my right hon. and learned Friend the Lord Advocate and I are discussing with Scottish chief constables whether we should issue guidance on questioning and interrogation in general.
