§ The Attorney-GeneralMy noble Friend has received representations from 441W a number of persons and agencies, including the Hillingdon Borough Council, the Law Society and the management committee of the law centre. At the request of the Law Society and the law centre, my noble Friend has instituted a review of the matter, which he hopes to complete shortly.
