§ 28. Mr. Iremongerasked the Attorney-General if he will introduce legislation to raise the value of estates, in respect of which probate and letters of administration may be granted on application at a district registry instead of the Principal Probate Registry, to take account of the fall in purchasing power of the pound sterling since that value was most recently laid down by Statute.
§ The Attorney-General (Sir Reginald Manningham-Buller)My hon. Friend is under a misapprehension. Grants of 1120 probate and letters of administration can be issued by district probate registries for estates of any value.
