HC Deb 18 March 1901 vol 91 c230
MR. LAMBERT

I beg to ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether, in view of the inconvenience caused by existing requirements, he will advise His Majesty to issue an order under Section 2 of the Promissory Oaths Act. 1871, enabling justices to take the oath of allegiance and the judicial oath before any two justices in petty sessions assembled.

*THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR THE HOME DEPARTMENT (Mr. RITCHIE,) Croydon

I propose to take the King's pleasure on this matter.
