§ 48. Sir A. M. SAMUELasked the Attorney-General whether he has yet received from the Law Society the draft of the Solicitors Bill; and, if so, whether he will consult with the various sections in the House in order that the Bill may be an agreed Measure and be given facilities for an early passage through Parliament?
§ The SOLICITOR-GENERAL (Sir F. Boyd Merriman)The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. I have also been informed that the Council of the Law Society have empowered their Parliamentary Committee to take steps to secure the early introduction of the Bill into Parliament and its passage into law.
§ Sir A. M. SAMUELDo the Government propose to give facilities if it is an agreed Bill?
§ The SOLICITOR-GENERALI think it would be better to wait and see whether it is in truth an agreed Bill.
