HC Deb 17 October 1940 vol 365 c849W
Mr. Bellenger

asked the Home Secretary whether he approves of the holding of directorships by stipendiary magistrates?

Mr. H. Morrison

Generally speaking, I do not regard it as desirable that stipendiary magistrates should hold directorships in public companies; but I could not undertake to express a final opinion in relation to any particular case without full knowledge of the circumstances.
