§ Mr. AllenTo ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department what proposals he has to reform the judiciary.
Mr. John M. TaylorThe Lord Chancellor has confidence in the judiciary in its present form. However, he is always ready to bring forward proposals for reform which he considers to be desirable in the public interest. For example, the Judicial Pensions and Retirement Bill[Lords], at present before this House, provides among other things for reduction of the retirement age of judges to 70.
