§ 89. Mr. T. WILLIAMSasked the Attorney-General when the recommendations of the West Riding (Yorkshire) Advisory Committee are likely to be considered; and when further appointments to the Magisterial Bench are likely to be made?
§ The SOLICITOR-GENERAL (Sir Thomas Inskip)I have been asked to reply. I must refer the hon. Member to the answer which I gave to his question on this subject on 14th July. The Lord Chancellor has not yet received from the Advisory Committee for the West Riding of Yorkshire the list of recommendations which he referred to them for reconsideration.
§ Mr. WILLIAMSAre we to understand from that reply that the list of recommendations for 1926 has not yet been dealt with by the Lord Chancellor?
§ The SOLICITOR-GENERALYes, they have been dealt with and the Lord Chancellor has asked the Advisory Committee to reconsider them.
§ Mr. WILLIAMSCan the right hon. Gentleman give us any reason why the Lord Chancellor asked them to reconsider all these recommendations?
§ The SOLICITOR-GENERALBecause, in the Lord Chancellor's opinion, they require reconsideration.
§ Mr. WILLIAMSCan the right hon. Gentleman give us any other case where any Lord Chancellor, during the past 20 years, has sent back a number of recommendations for reconsideration?
