§ MR. BERTRAM (Hertfordshire Hitchin)To ask Mr. Attorney General whether, looking to the conditions upon which judges of county courts in England hold office, His Majesty's Government will consider the desirability of fixing by legislation an age limit for their compulsory retirement upon a suitable 1259 pension proportionate to their length of service.
(Answered by Sir John Walton.) There seems little prospect of bringing in any county court legislation this session; and I have ascertained from the Lord Chancellor that he is not prepared to say whether he would propose a system of compulsory retirement for the judges.
