HC Deb 27 July 1931 vol 255 cc1949-50
73. Sir K. WOOD

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury the amounts, respectively, of salary and fees drawn by the Attorney-General and Solicitor-General to the last convenient date?

Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCE

I would refer the right hon. Member to the reply furnished to him on the 15th April last, which contains the latest available information.

Sir K. WOOD

What has happened since the 15th April? Have not any more fees been paid?

Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCE

That was up to the end of the financial year, and that is why I have given that answer.

Sir K. WOOD

Have the Law Officers forgone their fees since then?

Dr. MORRIS-JONES

Is it not a fact that a statement was made in the House that the Law Officers of the Crown were prepared voluntarily to relinquish some of their emoluments?
