§ Mr. HALL-CAINEasked the Attorney-General whether consideration will be given during the present Parliament to the introduction of legislation to implement the report of the committee of inquiry into the ability of private individuals to sue the Crown for damages due to the action of Government Departments or their officials?
§ The ATTORNEY-GENERALI understand that the report, to which the hon. Member refers, is that of the Crown Proceedings Committee, which was presented in 1927. The report did not contain any recommendation as to the desirability or feasibility of this suggestion and such information as I have does not lead me to think that there is any general agreement in favour of the hon. Member's proposal.
