HC Deb 22 April 1971 vol 815 c432W
Mr. Hooson

asked the Attorney-General (1) if he will ensure that, in documents referring to the Lord Chief Justice of Wales, he is referred to as the Lord Chief Justice of England and of Wales;

(2) if he will ensure that steps are taken for the Lord Chief Justice to be referred to in Wales as the Lord Chief Justice of England and of Wales.

The Attorney-General

I do not think any change is called for in the full title of this ancient office, which is commonly referred to nowadays in statutes and many other official documents by the shorter description of Lord Chief Justice.
