View answerAs the Deputy may be aware, the possible establishment of such a register has been suggested on a number of occasions, including in a number of Private Members Bills. However, consultations have taken place with a number of stakeholders, including the Law Society, and they have identified a number of important practical and legal obstacles to establishing such a mechanism. As a consequence establishment of a register is not currently under consideration.
