HC Deb 14 July 1915 vol 73 c825
33. Mr. WATT

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether solicitors who are serving in the Army either abroad or at home are still asked to pay the cost of £6 to £9 for their annual certificate which enables them to practise at their profession; and, if so, will he, in view of the hardship of these men having to sacrifice their practice and risk their lives for the country's cause, cancel the Exchequer's demand on them while the War lasts?

Mr. McKENNA

Where a solicitor in any year does not either directly or indirectly practise, no liability arises and no demand is made.
