§ Lieut.-Colonel HENEAGEasked the Prime Minister whether he is aware that there is a general desire by all parties that legislation should be embarked upon designed to reduce risk of loss to the public arising out of frauds by solicitors convicted in the criminal courts; and will he give facilities for an agreed Solicitors Bill based upon the two Solicitors Bills recently introduced in the House?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI am aware that there is considerable demand for a Bill of the nature indicated by the hon. and gallant Member, but the pressure of public business makes it impossible for me to hold out any hope of facilities being given, even were there an immediate possibility, which I doubt, of an agreed Bill.
