of conveyancing work which would not cause serious danger to defective titles with consequent liability of solicitors for professional negligence. Apart form the investigation of title the solicitor carries responsibility for a great deal of extra work such as arranging bridging finance, undertakings to banks and lending institutions on which he is personally liable, safeguard ing the client's rights under the building contract against defective materials or workmanship, pre-contract searches for planning restrictions or permissions and complic ations introduced by the stamp duty legislation 1947-65 and the Land Act 1965. For all this work and respon sibility the fees charged are moderate. The solicitors' profession is not a safe or sheltered occupation. While overhead expenses continually increase the solicitor's gross earnings from which such expenses are paid is subject to fluctuations caused by restriction of credit and other causes. Taken over, a period it is the opinion of the Council that the incomes of solicitors have not risen comparably with those of civil servants and of other professions and with the change of the value of money since 1939 and they can see no justification for the suggestion in your letter either that conveyancing costs are too high or that solicitors' earnings are ex cessive at a time when incomes in all other occupations and solicitor's working expenses are continuously rising."
