§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Lord President of the Council if he will introduce legislation to disqualify from membership of the House of Commons recorders, chairmen and deputy chairmen of quarter sessions.
§ Mr. WhitelawNo. The practice is not a growing one and I do not think it would be right for those Members of Parliament otherwise eligible and willing to serve in a part-time judicial capacity to be debarred from appointment and so deprived of the opportunity to gain judicial experience.
