§ Mr. Liddallasked the Attorney General when he proposes to introduce the Bill which he has announced that the Law Society had, in July last, decided to support for the purpose of obtaining legislative powers to protect the public against fraudulent conversion by solicitors of clients' properties?
§ The Attorney-GeneralI would refer the hon. Member to the answer which I gave him on 23rd November. The Bill to which I then referred was a Bill to be promoted by the Law Society to enable them to take more effective and prompter action in cases where defaults by solicitors are reported. I understand that the Law Society at the moment have the draft of a Bill under consideration. I have no doubt that when they have completed this task they will take the necessary steps to have the Bill introduced.
