HC Deb 19 February 1998 vol 306 cc845-6W
Mr. Boswell

To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department when the £5 fee for making a statutory declaration was last amended; and if he will make a statement. [30308]

Mr. Hoon

The fee for making a statutory declaration in the Magistrates' Court was increased to eight pounds on 1 April 1992, by the Magistrates' Courts Fees (Amendment) Order, SI 842/1992. I am considering whether to conduct a major review of all civil fees in the Magistrates' Courts.
