HC Deb 08 November 1973 vol 863 c234W
Mr. Knox

asked the Attorney-General in how many cases and on how many days in the present year he has appeared as counsel before municipal or international courts or tribunals.

The Attorney-General

During the present year I have appeared as counsel in seven processes involving six different cases on a total of 53 days. Details are as follows:

programme for 1973–74 had received final approval before the Department's Circular 12/73 dated 12th October. This announced that no more final approvals would be given before the end of 1973 for major educational building projects in the maintained sector and that no further minor works should be started before the end of 1973. Another circular will be issued as soon as possible setting out the basis for the resumption of approvals. No decisions have yet been taken concerning the effect of this circular on particular projects.
