HC Deb 03 December 1957 vol 579 c24W
64. Mr. Lewis

asked the Attorney-General whether he is aware of the shortage of High Court judges; and what action he proposes to take to recommend the appointment of new judges to the High Court.

The Solicitor-General

There is no basic shortage of High Court judges. Several judges have been ill this Term and, as a result, it has been necessary for my noble Friend the Lord Chancellor to recommend the appointment of Commissioners of Assize.
