§ Mr.Jaggerasked the Attorney-General when the Lord Chancellor proposes to set up a committee to consider problems of legal aid in civil litigation outside the jurisdiction covered by the Poor Persons Procedure?
§ The Attorney-GeneralThere are at present a number of committees engaged in the consideration of points of legal procedure including, as the hon. Gentleman knows, a committee considering the administration and working of the Poor Persons Rules. The reports of these committees when made will require consideration and may require legislation. My Noble Friend is not proposing at present to set up a further committee on the lines suggested. The matter will, however, be kept in mind.
