§ 45. Sir J. Langford-Holtasked the Attorney-General in view of the fact that it is now Her Majesty's Government's policy to draw justices of the peace from all sections of the community, if he will now ensure that half the number of justices of the peace shall be women.
§ The Attorney-General (Sir Elwyn Jones)It is the policy of my noble Friend the Lord Chancellor that justices should be drawn in reasonable numbers from each section of the community. It does not follow that each section must be equally represented.
