§ Mr. WEDGWOODasked the Prime Minister whether certain trades and labour councils are asking for some representation of the workers upon the advisory committees set up to consider appointments to the magisterial bench; and whether he will ask the Lord Chancellor to obtain such representation on the county as well as on the borough advisory committees?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI am informed that the Lord Chancellor has already asked some representatives of labour to join advisory committees for counties as well as boroughs, and will continue to do so where such representation seems desirable.
§ Viscount HELMSLEYMay I ask the Prime Minister why that question falls within his province to answer and why a question I put down about the magistrates was answered by the Home Secretary?
§ The PRIME MINISTERI do not know what the Noble Lord's question was, but I believe it was a question relating to the Home Office.
§ Viscount HELMSLEYIt was a question about the appointment of magistrates.
§ The PRIME MINISTERYes, that is a question for the Home Office.
