HC Deb 25 March 1999 vol 328 c403W
Mr. Ruffley

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will list(a) the London banisters' chambers and (b) the London solicitors' firms that have performed services for his Department (i) since 1 May 1997 and (ii) in the equivalent period preceding that date, indicating the remuneration paid in each particular case. [70039]

Mr. Hain

[pursuant to the reply, 23 February 1999, c. 255]: I regret that there were a number of inaccuracies in the reply.

The following barristers' chambers have also been instructed directly by the Welsh Office or via Treasury Solicitor's Office:

  1. (i) Atkin Chambers, Gray's Inn,
    • 4–5 Grays Inn Square,
    • 3 Serjeants Inn.
  2. (ii) In the list of barristers' chambers "Monkton Court" should have read "Monckton Chambers".
  3. In addition the statement that no London solicitors firms had been instructed was incorrect. Instructions have been given in both periods to the firms Wilde Sapte, and Bird and Bird.Please accept my apologies for these inaccuracies.
