§ 39. Mr. Cassellsasked the Attorney-General whether Law Reports are furnished free of charge in county courts in England?
§ The Solicitor-General (Sir Terence O'Connor)I presume that the question refers to Law Reports for the use of the court. If so, the answer is "Yes."
§ Mr. CassellsHow long has this system been in existence?
§ The Solicitor-GeneralI think the practice has prevailed for some considerable time. County court judges are supplied 978 on request at the public expense with the reports such as the Law Journal reports, but, of course, no judge asks for them all, and many have sets of their own.
§ Mr. GoldieIs the Solicitor-General not aware that law reports are not provided in some of the smaller assize towns, and will he take steps to see that they are supplied?
§ The Solicitor-GeneralThat is a separate question which I should like to see on the Paper.
