HC Deb 15 June 1984 vol 61 c595W
Mr. Malone

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what progress has been made in the transfer of divorce actions from the Court of Session to the sheriff courts.

Mr. Ancram

The sheriff court was given concurrent jurisdiction with the Court of Session in actions for divorce as from 1 May 1984. It is too soon to say what the effect of this has been on the courts concerned.
