Mr. A. T. DAVIESasked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury whether the appearance of the Attorney-General as leading counsel in the murder case at Hereford entails additional expenditure on the Treasury; and what is the nature of such charges, as apart from the salary of the Attorney-General?
Mr. YOUNGCosts of criminal prosecutions fall primarily to be borne on county funds, and it is unlikely that the Treasury will have to meet any charges in connection with the case referred to in the question.
