HC Deb 21 April 1931 vol 251 c800
53. Mr. H. GIBSON

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury the amount received by the Law Officers of the Crown for court cases arising out of the De-rating Act?

Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCE

The fees paid to the Law Officers of the Crown in connection with legal proceedings arising out of the Rating and Valuation (Apportionment) Act, 1928, amount to £8,128 7s.

Mr. GIBSON

Are any other counsel engaged on these cases, and what amounts have been paid to them?

Mr. E. BROWN

Does this amount include the sums paid to the Scottish Law Officers?

Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCE

I do not think so. I think that it applies only to the English Law Officers.
