Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Attorney-General whether he will publish in the OFFICIAL REPORT a detailed list of the official engagements of the Lord Chan- cellor in the week ended Saturday. 29th July.

Apart from his daily engagements in the House of Lords, my noble Friend the Lord Chancellor addressed the Summer Conference of the Magistrates' Association at Bangor on Saturday, 29th July.

Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Attorney-General whether he will publish in the OFFICIAL REPORT a detailed list of the engagements of the Official Solicitor in the week ended Saturday, 29th July.

The Attorney-General

During the week in question the Official Solicitor applied to the National Industrial Relations Court for the release of five contempt prisoners in the case of Midland Cold Storage Limitedv. Turner and Others. In addition he was engaged in legal matters of a confidential nature concerning mental patients and children, of which it would not be appropriate for me to give details.

The Official Solicitor had no engagements with any member of the Government or person acting on behalf of the Government.
