HC Deb 01 November 1934 vol 293 c379W
Sir N. GRATTAN-DOYLE

asked the Attorney-General whether he is aware that the attenuated number of His Majesty's judges, apart from the King's Bench, is causing delay and confusion in the transaction of legal business in the courts; and whether steps will be taken for a sufficient number of extra judges to be appointed to obviate such inconvenience to the bench, the bar, and the public?

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL

I am unable to follow the suggestion made by my hon. Friend that the number of judges, apart from the King's Bench Division, is attenuated. I shall make a statement upon the steps which His Majesty's Government propose to take with respect to the general situation when moving the Motion which stands in my name for to-day.
