§ 90. Mr. G. JONESasked the Attorney-General whether his attention has been called to the state of business in the King's Bench Division; and whether, having regard to the number of causes awaiting trial and the inconvenience and loss caused to the public by the consequential delay, the Government propose to take the necessary steps to fill the vacancies caused by the death of the hon. Mr. Justice Fraser and the promotion of the hon. Mr. Justice Greer?
§ The SOLICITOR-GENERALI have been asked to reply. The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. The Government have decided to ask Parliament for the necessary sanction to fill the vacancies, and my right hon. Friend the Lord Chancellor has put down a Resolution for discussion in another place on the 30th of this month. It is hoped to find time for discussion of a similar Resolution in this House before the end of the Session.
