§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Attorney-General, in view of the concern of those who pay the escalating costs connected with the law, especially court litigation, if he will introduce measures to limit excessive costs and to limit counsel and others to legal fees of 6 per cent. above their last payments, in accordance with the Government's policy of limitation of public expenditure.
§ The Attorney-GeneralArrangements already exist for controlling excessive costs. The cost of legal services payable from public funds must reflect the Government's policy on public expenditure.
