§ The ATTORNEY-GENERALThere are now 105 advisory committees appointed by the Lord Chancellor which act for county areas. 51 of these have been revised since 1923, including 19 during the last 12 months. 54 remain to be considered as occasion offers. There are 212 advisory committees appointed by the Lord Chancellor to act for boroughs having separate Commissions of the Peace: 107 of these have been revised since 1923, including 42 during the past 12 months, leaving 105 to be considered.
