§ MR. HANBURY (Preston)I beg to ask the Attorney General whether the increased scale of fees payable to the Law Officers under the new Treasury Minute will entail any increased costs to unsuccessful private litigants in cases in which the Crown is plaintiff or defendant; and whether there is any class of business (other than that done for special Departments of the State) in which the Attorney or Solicitor General is engaged virtute officii?
§ THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY (Mr. W. E. GLADSTONE,) Edinburgh, MidlothianThis question has already been answered by my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
