§ The Attorney-GeneralMy learned Friend the Solicitor-General and I took office on 4th August, 1945, and, during the three months of the Michaelmas term, commencing 14th October, I personally conducted 14 cases, which occupied 29 days in court. During this term I was out of the country for 23 days in connection with the Nuremberg trial. My learned friend the Solicitor-General personally conducted 22 cases, which occupied 22 days in court. During the whole of 1938, the then Attorney-General personally conducted 67 cases, which occupied 94 days in court. I regret that I am unable to supply the similar information relating to the then Solicitor-General, owing to the destruction by enemy action of the relevant records.
