HC Deb 19 October 1999 vol 336 cc570-1W
Mr. Dismore

To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department what consultation arrangements are(a) in place and (b) proposed in relation to proposed amendments to the Civil Procedure Rules; and if he will make a statement. [94396]

Mr. Lock

Papers sent to the Civil Procedure Rule Committee are also circulated to a number of other persons and bodies, including the Bar Council and the Law Society, who thus have an opportunity to comment. Major issues considered by the Committee are the subject of consultation papers, which receive a wide circulation.
