§ 38. Major JESSONasked the Attorney-General whether he will recommend to the Lord Chancellor that the composition of the advisory committees for justices of the peace be changed every five years and thereby ensure future appointments being made more in conformity with present day and changing conditions?
§ Captain AUSTIN HUDSON (Lord of the Treasury)I have been asked to reply. Each advisory committee is reviewed every three years by my noble and learned Friend who then considers what changes, if any, should be made in its composition.
§ Major JESSONIs the hon. and gallant Member aware that in many districts there has been no change in the composition of these advisory boards 176 for over 20 years? Does he not think that it is quite time they were decomposed.
§ Captain HUDSONPerhaps the hon. and gallant Member will communicate to my learned and noble Friend such information as is in his possession.
