§ 4.37 p.m.
§ The LORD ADVOCATEI beg to move, in page 2, line 27, to leave out the words, "law agent,"and to insert instead thereof the word, "solicitor.'
This is one of a number of Amendments in similar terms that stand on the Paper, and the explanation of them is simple. Parliament has recently passed into law the Solicitors (Scotland) Bill, which comes into operation on the 1st March, 1934, and accordingly we have thought the better course is to use the word "solicitor"instead of the words "law agent"throughout this Bill. In Clause 40 of the Bill we shall propose an Amendment which will cover the period between now and March, 1934, during which the term "law agent"may be used.
§ Amendment agreed to.
