HC Deb 23 October 1995 vol 264 cc437-8W
Dr. Godman

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland when he expects to receive the report of the working group set up in January to investigate the development of an integrated support scheme for child witnesses; and if he will make a statement. [38423]

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

The child witness support project working group is not expected to produce a final report until the latter part of 1997. The nature of the aim and objectives of the project is such as to demand a lengthy time scale.
