HC Deb 08 December 1980 vol 995 cc238-9W
Mr. Field

asked the Attorney-General if he will list those reports from Royal Commissions, official departmental committees or ad hoc advisory groups established by his Department or the Lord Chancellor's Department which have been published during the past 10 years by his Department—either totally or jointly with other Departments—and which have yet to be debated in the House.

The Attorney-General

No reports were published by my Department in the years 1971 to 1980. The reports published in the same period for which the Lord Chancellor's Department is responsible and which have not been debated in the House of Commons are:

  • Ormrod Committee on Legal Education (Cmnd. 4595) March 1971;
  • Hutton Committee of Inquiry into the Public Trustee Office (Cmnd. 4913) March 1972;
  • Faulks Committee on Defamation (Cmnd. 5909) March 1975;
  • Cantley Working Party on Personal Injuries Litigation Procedure (Cmnd. 7476) March 1979;
  • Benson Royal Commission on Legal Services (Cmnd. 7648) October 1979.
