Mr. David Adamsasked the Attorney-General whether he is aware that the recent appointment of two additional magistrates in the Consett urban area, making a total of four, is still insufficient to meet the requirements of that extensive 3507W area; and whether it is intended to increase the number and to appoint direct representatives of the workers?
§ The Attorney-GeneralMy Noble Friend, the Lord Chancellor, has recently approved the appointment of three additional magistrates to the Lanchester, Con-sett and Stanley Petty Sessional Division, two of whom, I believe reside in this area. It is not intended immediately to make further appointments to the Commission, but the requirements of this area will receive the consideration of the Advisory Committee when further appointments are recommended.
