HC Deb 15 July 1931 vol 255 c460
64. Captain P. MACDONALD

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether in view of the expense of conducting the defence in criminal cases, he will consult with the Law Officers of the Crown with a view to securing such amendment of the law as will enable a successful defendant to re cover the necessary outlay of his defence?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for the HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. Short)

I would refer to the answer given on the 8th June on a similar point by my right hon. and learned Friend the Attorney-General.
