HL Deb 24 February 1982 vol 427 cc1007-8WA
The Earl of Selkirk

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they propose to amend the financial provisions on divorce for Scotland on the lines recommended by the Scottish Law Commission.

The Earl of Mansfield

The Scottish Law Commission's Report on Aliment and Financial Provision is being carefully considered by the Government with a view to legislation in due course. Their report raises a number of complex issues and it is not possible at this stage to say how far any legislation will follow the lines recommended by the commission.
