HC Deb 05 July 1960 vol 626 c219
32. Mr. W. Hamilton

asked the Lord Advocate what is the estimated increase in cost in his Department consequent on his appearance on the Order of Questions.

The Lord Advocate (Mr. William Grant)

None, Sir.

Mr. Hamilton

Is the right hon. and learned Gentleman aware, then, that we are probably now getting value for money? Would he agree that it would be still cheaper and better all round for him not to be here at all.

The Lord Advocate

I shall be agreeably surprised and flattered if I feel that the fact that I now take the top of the list on certain days leads to hon. Members asking additional Questions in order to have the pleasure of hearing my voice.
