Part of Orders of the Day — Housing Bill – in the House of Commons at 12:00 am on 13 April 1964.

I think that this is something which the court should have the power to do, but I should like to have the views of the Under-Secretary of State for Scotland on whether this duty which we are placing on the sheriff court is in accordance with the practice of that court.
