§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Secretary of State for the Home Department why he is unable to give figures showing for the period from October, 1964, to date, or any convenient period within those years, the total amount of free legal aid granted to persons charged with fraud or conspiracy to defraud, where such persons were found guilty, and the names of such persons together with the legal aid granted in each case; and whether he will publish as much information as he has available in connection with this type of legal aid.
§ Mr. Elystan MorganI regret that I have no relevant information available since the information supplied by the courts for statistical purposes does not include either the names of persons to 31W whom legal aid is granted or the offences with which they are charged.
