HC Deb 11 May 1950 vol 475 cc87-8W
103. Mr. H. Hynd

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department when the respective sections of the Justices of the Peace Act will be brought into operation.

Mr. Ede

Under an Order in Council made on 31st March—Statutory Instrument No. 517—Part I of the Justices of the Peace Act, 1949, except Section 8, Part V except two subsections of Section 29, and the whole or part of 10 other Sections, are to come into force on 1st June next, and Section 13 is to come into force on 1st January next. I cannot say when the remaining Sections of the Act are likely to be brought into force.
