HC Deb 17 March 1969 vol 780 cc28-9W
Mr. Whitaker

asked the Attorney-General why the National Board for Prices and Income's recommendation that conveyancing costs should be reduced, which was accepted by the Government eight months ago, has not yet been put into effect.

The Attorney-General

I would refer my hon. Friend to the reply I gave to my hon. Friend the Member for Bristol, North-West (Mr. Ellis) on 24th February.—[Vol. 778, c. 1080–1]. An Order applying section 3 of the Prices and Incomes Act, 1966, to the remuneration of solicitors in England and Wales came into operation on 12th March.
