HC Deb 22 April 1931 vol 251 cc982-4W
Mr. BROCKWAY

asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury (1) how much has been expended by the Crown on legal proceedings since 1st June, 1929;

(2) what solicitors and barristers have been employed by the Crown since 1st June, 1929, and the fees which have been paid in each case?

Mr. PETHICK-LAWRENCE

The information referred to in these two questions is not available in the Treasury, and I am advised that its collection would involve the expenditure of considerable time and labour.
