asked the Solicitor-General for Scotland what recent advice the Lord Advocate has given the procurator fiscal in Kilmarnock about the implementation of the policy of non-harassment of travelling families.

The Solicitor-General for Scotland

All procurators fiscal, including the procurator fiscal at Kilmarnock, have recently been advised of the modification to the policy of non-harassment of travelling people which took effect on 1 April 1985 and which linked toleration of unlawful encampment to achievement by local authorities of provision of pitch targets.
