HC Deb 05 December 1939 vol 355 c462W
Rear-Admiral Beamish

asked the Attorney-General whether, in appointing members of the legal profession, as provided by the Second Schedule of the Prices of Goods Act, he will avoid selecting a solicitor until the Law Society has obtained legislative powers to protect the public against risk of fraudulent conversion by solicitors of property entrusted to them, as brought to the notice of Parliament in the Law Society's Bill recently withdrawn?

The Attorney-General

The position of the Law Society in this matter has been explained in answer to previous questions. My Noble Friend cannot accept the suggestion in the question.
