§ 3. Mr. WATTasked the Secretary for Scotland whether his attention has been drawn by the Law Society of Glasgow to the undesirability of law agents appearing before military tribunals on which the partners of these agents are sitting; and, if so, what steps, if any, he has taken to stop this practice?
§ Mr. MUNROThe reply to the first part of my hon. and learned Friend's question is in the affirmative. I concur in the view that it is not desirable, though it may not be technically incompetent, that law agents should sit on tribunals before which their partners are appearing as agents. If any such practice has obtained, I do not doubt that the persons concerned will realise the propriety of discontinuing it in view of this expression of opinion.
