HC Deb 24 December 1929 vol 233 c2126W
Mr. DAY

asked the Home Secretary whether he has under consideration at present the increase of the London magistracy; and can he say when he will be able to announce his decision?

Mr. CLYNES

The number of Metropolitan Police Magistrates has recently been brought up to the full strength authorised by Statute, namely 27. Any question as to the number of Justices of the Peace for the County of London should be addressed to my hon. and learned Friend the Attorney-General.
