§ Sir P. Rawlinsonasked the Attorney-General whether the organisation of the administration of justice by the High Court in England and Wales is presently under review by the Law Commissioners; whether they are inviting individual evidence concerning changes in the organisation of the administration of 231W justice, particularly outside London; and whether he will make a statement.
§ The Attorney-GeneralThe Law Commissioners are reviewing the organisation of the administration of justice by the High Court only to the extent that, under Item X(c) of their present law reform programme, they are required to make a preliminary examination of the jurisdiction of the courts dealing with family matters and to say what agency should further examine the question. It is too early to say whether the Commission will decide to invite evidence for the purpose of their preliminary examination.
