HC Deb 20 March 1918 vol 104 c984
61. Mr. CURRIE

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he has been receiving representations from leading chambers of commerce in favour of the introduction of the Amendment of Probate Bill aimed at the abolition of useless legal expenses; and whether he can now give any indication as to when the Bill is likely to be introduced?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I have received various resolutions on this subject, and the matter is at present receiving consideration. I am not yet able to make any statement in regard to the last part of the question, but hope to be able to do so immediately after the Recess

Mr. WATT

Could not the public in Scotland be put on the same level as the public in England in this respect?

Mr. BONAR LAW

I am not quite sure that the public in Scotland would be satisfied with that standard.
