HC Deb 22 February 1944 vol 397 cc674-5W
Sir R. Glyn

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if his attention has been drawn to the fact that in 997 Petty Sessional Divisions there are 368 justices of over 75 years of age; and if he is taking steps to retire these gentlemen in any event from work in juvenile courts.

Mr. H. Morrison

The return from which my hon. Friend quotes has just been furnished to me. I have noted the figure to which he refers, and I will consider the position in consultation with my right hon. Friend the Lord Chancellor.
