HC Deb 13 July 1910 vol 19 c351
Mr. WATT

asked the Lord Advocate whether the Solicitor of Inland Revenue in Scotland has in any cases prosecuted solicitors for practising during 1909 without having in force duly stamped certificates to practise; whether the decrees obtained were put in execution; and what were the financial results of such prosecutions?

The LORD ADVOCATE (Mr. Ure)

In only one case did the Board of Inland Revenue deem it necessary to order proceedings to be taken. Decree was obtained and put in execution for a mitigated penalty of £16.

Mr. WATT

Can the right hon. Gentleman say whether the solicitor on that occasion was present?
