Clause 69 - Criminal Procedure Rules
Courts Bill [Lords]
10:00 am
Mr Gareth Thomas (Clwyd West, Labour)
I am interested to hear my hon. Friend developing his points, speaking as he does from his experience as a solicitor. On the question of court apparel, he will be aware that that is the subject of some controversy, not only within the legal profession but society at large. Does he take the view that it would be appropriate not for the profession so much but for the Government to take a view as to the appropriateness of the ancient apparel that the profession requires barristers to wear?
