asked the Financial Secretary to the Treasury what increase has become payable from public funds to the late Lord Chief Justice in consequence of his tenure of that position?

Mr. YOUNG

The pension payable under statute to the late Lord Chief Justice is £4,000 a year. Had he not held the office of Lord Chief Justice, his pension as an ex-judge of the High Court would have been £3,500 a year.
