HC Deb 28 May 1906 vol 158 cc66-7
MR. PAUL (Northampton)

I beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer whether the Judge Advocate-General, if removed from his office for reasons of public policy, would be entitled to pecuniary compensation; if so, by what special claim, from what particular source, and to what precise amount.

THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER (Mr. ASQUITH,) Fife, E.

This is a question of law on which I am not competent to give an opinion, but I may say he would not, I think, have any legal claim to compensation.
