STIPENDIARY MAGISTRATE, CARDIFF (APPOINTMENT) (Hansard, 28 February 1946)

HC Deb 28 February 1946 vol 419 c418W 418W

§ Mr. G. Thomas
asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department the reason for the long delay in the appointment of a stipendiary magistrate for the city of Cardiff.

§ Mr. Ede
It is my duty to satisfy myself before recommending to the King the appointment of a stipendiary magistrate that I have selected the candidate most suitable to fill the appointment, and the steps to be taken for this purpose necessarily take some time. As has already been announced, Mr. George Parsons was appointed on the. 13th February.
