HC Deb 20 May 1958 vol 588 c75W
Sir L. Heald

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what progress he is making with his consideration of the implementation of Sections 21–23 of the Legal Aid and Advice Act, 1949.

Mr. R. A. Butler

I propose to enter into discussions this summer with the Bar Council and the Law Society and with the associations representing the Local authorities on the practical problems which arise under Sections 21–23 of the Legal Aid and Advice Act, including the scale of fees to be laid down, with a view to implementing the Sections during the financial year 1959–60.
