HC Deb 07 May 1913 vol 52 c2074W
Mr. ROYDS

asked the Attorney-General why, in view of the importance of the Lumsden case, it has not been taken in the Court of Appeal in its normal order?

Sir RUFUS ISAACS

In the present Sittings the Court of Appeal has dealt with some of the revenue appeals, and others will be dealt with next Sittings. The Lumsden case is not overdue, and is one of those standing over. The matter involved in the appeal will be discussed in Committee on the Revenue Bill, and the result of the discussion might render it unnecessary to proceed further with the appeal. If, however, there is any desire on the part of the appellants to have it heard at an early date, I shall offer no objection.
