HC Deb 07 November 1912 vol 43 c1437
51. Mr. MORTON

asked the Prime Minister whether he can now give the terms of the reference to the Royal Commission on the question of the sittings, etc., of the Royal Courts of Justice?

The PRIME MINISTER

The terms of reference are: "To inquire into the complaints of delay in the hearing of actions and appeals and Crown cases in the King's Bench Division of the High Court of Justice, and whether any reforms should be adopted, and to report thereupon."

Mr. WATT

Will the right hon. Gentleman say whether the terms of reference cover the question of the age for the retiral of the judges?

The PRIME MINISTER

That is clearly covered.
