Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Ackner (Crossbench). It was answered on Monday, 14 November 2005.


Court Fees

Question
My Lords, perhaps I may squeak in my third question. Why has Parliament been given no opportunity to debate this matter?
Answer

My Lords, there is currently consultation in relation to whether, and if so by how much, the fees should be raised. It is only after that consultation that the question of parliamentary scrutiny would arise.
