HC Deb 16 September 1931 vol 256 c834
28. Mr. LAWTHER

asked the Attorney-General if he will consider in future appointments of magistrates the length of residence in the borough or comity where they hold office, as well as public service that persons have had, in order that citizens will be in a position to judge the qualifications for appointments?

The ATTORNEY GENERAL (Sir William Jowitt)

Regard has been, and will continue to be, paid to these considerations.
