§ Mr. Russell Kerrasked the Attorney-General if he is satisfied that the system of the taxation of banisters' fees is working satisfactorily, mindful of the fact that barristers have no power to sue for their fees.
§ The Solicitor-GeneralWhile I do not think that legal limitations on a barrister's right to sue for his fees affects his taxation by the taxing officers of the courts, my noble Friend and I are always ready to consider whether the present system could be improved. We therefore welcome the readiness of the chief taxing 11W master of the Supreme Court to issue revised notes for the guidance of taxing officers in the crown court and we look forward to any proposals in this field that may be made by the Royal Commission on legal services.
