Preparation Of Probate Papers

Mr. Byers
To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department when he plans to implement section 55 of the Courts and Legal Services Act 1990; and if he will make a statement. [38177]

Mr. John M. Taylor
While I am not aware of any substantial public concern at the delay in implementation, it remains the Government's intention to bring the section into force when the appropriate resources are available.
