HC Deb 06 August 1941 vol 373 c1944
44. Sir Percy Hurd

asked the Attorney-General what reply he has sent to the request of the Association of British Chambers of Commerce to support the Solicitors' Bill, so that the public may be as soon as possible protected by legislation against frauds by solicitors?

The Attorney-General (Sir Donald Somervell)

I would refer my hon. Friend to the Reply I gave on 30th July to my hon. Friend the Member for Lincoln (Mr. Liddall). I replied to the Association on the same lines.

Sir P. Hurd

May we know what those lines are?

The Attorney-General

My hon. Friend the Member for Lincoln was informed that the Law Society were in touch with certain Members of this House who have put a Motion on the Order Paper, and that it was hoped that as a result of consultations the Bill would be able to proceed as an agreed Measure.
