87. Mr. FOOT

asked the Attorney-General whether he is now in a position to state the decision of the Lord Chancellor upon the proposal that, the chairmen of boards of guardians shall be appointed to act as magistrates during their term of office?

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL

The Lord Chancellor has given this question his careful consideration, and, after consultation with the Home Secretary and the Minister of Health, it has been decided to take no action.
