HC Deb 21 February 1986 vol 92 cc363-4W
Mr. Michael Brown

asked the Attorney-General if, pursuant to the reply of 17 February to the hon. Member for Montgomery (Sir John Stradling Thomas) Official Report, column 1, at any time he or his officials agreed with the Bar that negotiations on remuneration of criminal legal aid fees should be concluded by the end of January 1986.

The Attorney-General

The Bar has obtained leave to institute proceedings for judicial review. These matters are likely to be material to that case. That being so it would be improper for me to comment.
