HC Deb 09 August 1920 vol 133 c35
88. Mr. RAFFAN

asked the Attorney General whether, in view of the high legal costs which bear so hardly on litigants of moderate means, steps can be taken to allow litigants to be represented by their own solicitors, not merely in county courts and chambers, as at present, but in all courts in the land?

The ATTORNEY - GENERAL (Sir Gordon Hewart)

I am not, as at present advised, aware that the complaint is well founded, or that there is any general desire for the change suggested, or that the change, if made, would yield the desired result.
