§ 31. Mr. Errollasked the Attorney-General why the total staffs for county court offices have increased from 1,728 in 1951–52 to 1,745 in 1952–53; and why the travelling expenses of registrars and bailiffs have increased from £54,099 in 1951–52 to £67,000 in 1952–53.
§ The Attorney-GeneralThe increase in the total staff of the county courts was necessary because the business of the courts increased by more than 18 per cent. during that period. This resulted in additional travelling by the registrars and even more by the bailiffs of the courts.
