Talk:Lord Advocate

Speaking in Parliament

The article states that the Lord Advocate can speak in the Scottish Parliament, even though he/she is not a member. Has this ever actually happened? Thunderwing 09:37, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

I couldn’t find any instance in the Official Report. https://www.parliament.scot/chamber-and-committees/official-report/search-what-was-said-in-parliament Kaihsu (talk) 19:24, 24 November 2022 (UTC)

Not very often, but it happens. Most recently a statement on the Post Office horizon scandal. Horizon Information Technology Prosecutions --2.24.180.142 (talk) 22:35, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
