HC Deb 18 February 1987 vol 110 cc616-7W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Solicitor-General for Scotland if he has any plans to seek to amend section 9 of the Official Secrets Act 1911 to provide for warrants under that section to be issued by a sheriff.

The Solicitor-General for Scotland

Amendment of the Official Secrets Acts would not fall within my ministerial responsibility.
