§ Mr. David Steelasked the Attorney-General if Her Majesty's Government will seek to amend the legal aid regulations so that property acquired by a plaintiff is not taken into account in determining financial eligibility for legal aid in cases where the claim for damages relates to the death of the plaintiff's spouse.
§ The Solicitor-GeneralThere are no present plans to adopt the particular suggestion in the right hon. Gentleman's question. Greater priority is at present attached to raising the general capital limits which would assist among others the most directly in need of the class which the right hon. Gentleman seeks to assist.
