HC Deb 13 July 1983 vol 45 c348W
Mr. MacKenzie

asked the Solicitor-General for Scotland when he intends to introduce legislation to deal with warrant sales.

The Solicitor-General for Scotland

The Scottish Law Commission is at present giving top priority to the preperation of a report on the law of diligence following the receipt of comments from interested bodies and individuals. The report will include recommendations on the topic of warrant sales and it would be wrong for the Government to propose legislation on this subject until they have the benefit of knowing what the commission recommend should be done. No definite date can yet be given for the publication of the report.
