§ 45. Captain NORTHasked the Prime Minister whether he will consider the advisability of setting up a commission to inquire into the possibility of effecting reforms in legal procedure, with a view to reducing the present costs and delays which are frequently involved?
§ The LORD PRESIDENT of the COUNCIL (Mr. Stanley Baldwin)I do not consider that a further commission is necessary. If my hon. Friend will kindly refer to the answer given to a similar question on 4th February last by my right hon. Friend, the Attorney- 1641 General, he will see that steps are already being taken to effect such reforms in legal procedure as he desires.
§ Captain NORTHWill the right hon. Gentleman bear in mind that at present the costs of litigation are entirely beyond the reach of vast numbers of people and that this state of affairs must and does create cases of hardship?
