HC Deb 31 January 1985 vol 72 cc259-60W
Mr. Weetch

asked the Attorney-General whether Her Majesty's Government will alter the Non-Contentious Probate Rules 1954 to permit trust corporations to make personal applications for grants of representation.

The Attorney-General

The non-contentious probate rules are made by the President of the Family Division with the Lord Chancellor's concurrence. The Lord Chancellor has no plans to invite the President to permit trust corporations to make personal applications for grants of representation.

Mr. Weetch

asked the Attorney-General whether he will introduce legislation to amend section 23 of the Solicitors Act 1974 to permit trust corporations to make applications for grants of representation.

The Attorney-General

No.
