HC Deb 01 May 1935 vol 301 c366
45. Mr. KIRKWOOD

asked the Prime Minister when it is proposed to fill the position of Solicitor-General for Scotland?

The PRIME MINISTER

This matter is now under consideration.

Mr. KIRKWOOD

Is it true that this appointment is being kept open in order to appoint Mr. T. M. Cooper, K.C., who has no former Parliamentary experience; and will the Prime Minister tell the House how it is that there are Members of Parliament with legal qualifications in the House who have been overlooked?

The PRIME MINISTER

I have said that this matter is under consideration.
