§ Sir N. Grattan-Doyleasked the Attorney-General whether the Government will, for the protection of the public against fraud by solicitors, add such a 502W Clause to the Law Society's forthcoming Solicitors Bill as will prohibit the creation of newly constituted firms of solicitors with only one principal or partner?
§ The Attorney-GeneralIt is not the intention of the Government to introduce an Amendment to deal with the point which the hon. Member raises. In this connection I would refer him to an answer given to the hon. Member for Lincoln (Mr. Liddall) on 23rd November, 1938, in which I stated that my Noble and learned Friend the Lord Chancellor had been in communication with the Law Society and that he understood from them that this proposal had received their very careful consideration and was considered inexpedient.
