To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department what plans he has to review the legislation concerning solicitors' fees; and if he will make a statement. [22987]

Mr. Hoon

I have no present plans to review the legislation concerning solicitors' fees. If the hon. Lady has any particular changes in mind perhaps she would care to write to me.

Ms Perham

To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department if he will review the regulations governing the appointment by solicitors as executors for an estate of their own firm to carry out the administration. [22986]

Mr. Hoon

This is a matter for the Law Society. The Department has no plans to review this area.
