HC Deb 14 February 1873 vol 214 c439
MR. W.H. SMITH

asked Mr. Attorney General, If his attention has been drawn to the Tribunal of Commerce Bill, introduced as a Private Bill; and, whether the sanction of the Law Officers of the Crown has been given to the measure?

THE ATTORNEY GENERAL,

in reply, said, his attention had been drawn to the Tribunal of Commerce Bill, which had been introduced as a Private Bill, but the sanction of the Law Officers of the Crown had certainly not been given to it. As the hon. Member had not asked whether their consent would be given, it would be superfluous to say anything on that point.
