Application under Section 25 THE Council considered an affidavit by a solicitor's

On the report of the Court of Examiners, it was decided not to oppose the application. Terms of appointment of solicitors to local authorities A deputation was appointed to interview the Minister for Local Government, to put forward the view o the Council on the terms of appointment of solicitors to local authorities ; the Minister having already agreed to receive a deputation.
