§ 71. Mr. BEAUMONTasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury in how many rating appeals under the De-rating Acts the Attorney-General has appeared?
§ Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCEI would refer the hon. Member to the information given in my reply to him on the 4th June. Since that date no further appeals under the Hating and Valuation (Apportionment) Act, 1923, have been heard in the Divisional Court.
§ Mr. BEAUMONTWas not the information which the hon. Gentleman gave me on the date he mentioned in regard to the number of cases in which the Attorney-General had been briefed? I want to know how many times he has appeared?
§ Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCEThe hon. Member does not realise apparently that when the word "appeared" is used, it bears the same meaning as the occasions referred to in the previous question.
§ Mr. BEAUMONTWill the hon. Gentleman tell me the legal term for "appeared in person"?
