HC Deb 11 August 1913 vol 56 c2072W
Mr. ACLAND ALLEN

asked the Prime Minister the reasons for the delay in appointing an Advisory Committee to deal with the appointment of magistrates in Dumbartonshire; and if he can state when the Committee will be appointed?

The PRIME MINISTER

The Lord Chancellor hopes to appoint the Advisory Committee for Dumbartonshire within a very few days. A number of these Advisory Committees throughout England, Scotland, and Wales is about 360, and the difficulty involved in appointing so large a number has unfortunately in a few instances led to inevitable delay.
