Alister Jack has piled pressure on Humza Yousaf to press on with reforming the role of the Lord Advocate. "I would welcome an update on the Scottish Government’s position on amending the roles of Law Officers and any next steps post Malcolm McMillan’s research. He added: "For that reason, it would be helpful to understand the Scottish Government’s direction of travel on the matter. "The Scottish Government has commissioned expert research into the functions of the Law Officers. This research will ensure a detailed baseline understanding of the distinct roles and functions of the Law Officers and will provide information on how the functions of Law Officers operate in other countries."
