HC Deb 19 April 1971 vol 815 cc341-2W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Attorney-General whether he will take whatever action may prove necessary to ensure that in 1972, when any person is charged with offences, either connected with the Industrial Relations Bill or matters connected with industrial misdemeanours, as where the person charged is known to be an active trades unionist or shop steward, the case is not heard or judged by Alderman Peter Ross, a justice of the peace of Worthing.

The Attorney-General

My noble Friend the Lord Chancellor has already fully dealt with this matter on the lines indicated in my answer of 23rd March.—[Vol. 814, c.81–82.]
