§ 50. Mr. Maclennanasked the Solicitor-General for Scotland what has been the effect on the operation of the sheriff court's office at Dornoch of the decision not to replace the procurator fiscal.
§ The Solicitor-General for ScotlandThe procurator fiscal for Tain became the procurator fiscal for both Tain and Dornoch on 25 August 1986. Criminal business at Tain and Dornoch sheriff courts has been rearranged accordingly. There have been a number of minor teething troubles, but generally the new arrangements are working satisfactorily. Back-up from the procurator fiscal offices at Dingwall, Inverness and Wick is available should any emergency arise. The situation is being closely monitored by the regional procurator fiscal at Aberdeen.
