§ Mr. WESTWOODasked the Home Secretary if the law in relation to the provision for legal assistance to poor persons is different in England as compared with Scotland; and what action, if any, he proposes to take to give equal facilities in England for legal assistance being provided for poor people who desire the same?
Mr. DAVIESIf the hon. Member has any definite proposals in mind and will send them to me, they will be given careful consideration, but I would point out that the position is much simpler in Scotland where all prosecutions are undertaken by the State.
