Mr. Emrys Hughes

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many justices of the Peace there are for the village of Dunure, Ayrshire; and if he will increase them.

number employed at each and the type of goods produced; and if he will give similar information about the 1949 programme.

Mr. Ness Edwards

The information is as follows:

Mr. Woodburn

There are seven Justices of the Peace resident in the parish of Maybole which includes Dunure, but there has been no Justice of the Peace in the village of Dunure since October, 1948. The Royal Commission on Justices of the Peace recently recommended that the Lord Chancellor, by whom appointments of Justices are made, should have the assistance of a Central Advisory Committee in Scotland and it is not expected that any fresh appointments of Justices will be made until the Committee has been set up.
