§ 26. Mr. George Robertsonasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will change his Department's procedures so that the Halliday committee's recommendations will apply to all future sales of property and land owned directly or indirectly by his Department.
§ Mr. YoungerThe recommendations made by Professor Halliday related specifically to the sale of surplus National Health Service land and the procedures adopted in the light of his report have applied to such sales since May 1981. Particular points of more general application covered by the recommendations are taken into account, as appropriate, in other sales. The Department's procedures are periodically reviewed.
