To ask the Scottish Executive whether there are any plans to amend the Licensing (Scotland) Act 1976 which forbids the sale of alcohol in supermarkets prior to 12.30 pm on Sundays.

Answer · Jim Wallace · 11 Oct 2002

The Executive appointed an independent committee in July 2001, chaired by Sheriff Principal Gordon Nicholson, to review liquor licensing law. The committee is expected to report early next year and I assume this is one of the issues the report will comment on. The Executive will not be taking any action towards changing the law prior to considering the report.

Answer · Elaine Murray · 25 Sep 2002

I have asked Graeme Munro, Chief Executive of Historic Scotland to respond. His response is as follows:<P>Historic Scotland has no plans to mark and identify the tombs of former Scottish Kings, including Malcolm Canmore, Edgar, Alexander I, David I, Alexander II, Alexander III and Robert II. Alexander II is buried in Melrose Abbey, cared for by Historic Scotland on behalf of Scottish ministers, and this is noted in the official guidebook. Robert II is buried at Scone Abbey and the other kings mentioned are all buried in that part of Dunfermline Abbey which is not in the care of Historic Scotland.
