Proceeding contribution from Lord Morris of Aberavon (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 15 December 2005. It occurred during Debate on Law Officers.
Law Officers
My Lords, I think I made that point earlier in that it is difficult to recruit eminent members of the legal profession to the House of Commons because of the demands. Now that there are signs of an increased pool of talent and I hope that again there will be an Attorney-General in the House of Commons. But the Attorney-General is not expected to be an expert in all fields. I was only a criminal lawyer, but I had the advantage of expertise, of Treasury counsel, and a whole range of sources of advice, if required.
