§ Mr. Weetchasked the Secretary of State for Trade if he will refer the solicitors' 317W monopoly in conveyancing to the Monopolies Commission.
§ Mr. ParkinsonMonopoly references are normally made by the Director General of Fair Trading. I understand that he has no plans to make a reference concerning conveyancing. The rules which prevent persons who are neither barristers nor solicitors from undertaking conveyancing on behalf of others are already being investigated by the Royal Commission on Legal Services.
