MR. TREVELYAN&c.) (Hawick,asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Whether the position of Resident Magistrates will be governed, as regards their tenure of office and personal prospects, by the provisions applied to Civil Servants in Ireland under Clause 29 of the Government of Ireland Bill?
§ THE CHIEF SECRETARY (Mr. JOHN MORLEY) (Newcastle-on-Tyne)The answer to my right hon. Friend's Question is in the affirmative. The Bill distinguishes between those persons, such as Judges and County Chairmen, whose salaries are by law charged on the Consolidated Fund, and all ordinary Civil servants who are paid out of moneys voted by Parliament. The Resident Magistrates belong to the latter class, and they are dealt with, like other Civil servants, by Clause 29 of the Bill.
