§ Mr. BRIDGEMANasked what were the taxed costs payable to the successful litigants in the Swansea school case; what additional costs beyond the taxed costs would be thrown upon the successful parties, and by whom they would be defrayed; what had been the total expense of the whole proceedings; and what proportion of the total expense was incurred after the legal adviser whom the Board sent down to inquire had reported that it was not advisable to take such action?
§ Mr. RUNCIMANI assume that the hon. Member intends to refer in the last part of his question to Mr. Hamilton's Report. With reference to the first, third, and last parts of the question I am informed by the Treasury Solicitor's Department that the precise figures have not yet been arrived at and, with reference to the second part, that there is no information available. I can only refer the hon. Member to the answers on this subject given by me on the 5th, 11th, and 12th of this month.
§ Mr. RUNCIMANI cannot say when the Treasury Department will have made up their figures. If the hon. Gentleman cares to put down a question a little later on, I will try to supply him with the information.
