§ Sir R. Gowerasked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of War Transport whether, in view of the fact that arrangements have now been made to extend the scheme for free legal aid to members of the Royal Navy, he will consider whether it is possible to include also members of the Merchant Service?
§ Mr. Noel-BakerMembers of the Merchant Navy are provided with legal aid by the different officers' and men's societies, and it is, therefore, unnecessary to make arrangements of the kind suggested by my hon. Friend.
