§ Mr. Emeryasked the Attorney-General whether he is aware that the Bill which the Law Society, in July, 1938, decided to promote is designed to enable the society to take further action when defaults by solicitors are reported; and will he consult with the Law Society, while the draft of the Bill is under consideration, so as to ensure that the primary aim of the Bill should be to prevent solicitors defrauding their clients rather than to deal with defaults by solicitors after they have been reported?
§ The Attorney-GeneralI understand that the draft of the Bill which is under consideration and to which the hon. Member refers, is designed to strengthen the hands of the Law Society with a view to the prevention of defalcations by solicitors. I will, however, bring to the attention of the Law Society the observations of my hon. Friend.
