§ 29. Mrs. McKennaTo ask the Advocate-General in what type of cases, intimated to her as devolution issues, she has intervened. [126364]
The Advocate-General for ScotlandI have intervened in a variety of devolution issues cases. Each case is considered on its merits. In general terms I have intervened, for example, where important issues of principle have arisen particularly in cases which might have ramifications for the whole United Kingdom. I do not usually intervene until a case has reached appeal or Privy Council stage.
