HC Deb 01 July 1996 vol 280 c341W
Mr. Harry Greenway

To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department how many complaints he has received on the operation of the solicitors disciplinary tribunal in the last three years; and if he will make a statement. [33693]

Mr. Streeter

My Department receives very few complaints about the solicitors disciplinary tribunal. The tribunal is entirely independent from the Lord Chancellor, although the Department has responsibility for the payment of allowances to the tribunal's lay members.
