HC Deb 02 March 1971 vol 812 cc386-7W
Mr. Arthur Lewis

asked the Attorney-General what reason was given by Alderman Peter Ross when he informed the Lord Chancellor that he was refusing to adjudicate as a magistrate for the rest of this year and would commence adjudicating in 1972.

The Attorney-General

Alderman Peter Ross, a Justice of the Peace for Worthing, has not refused to adjudicate as a magistrate for the rest of this year. Alderman Ross was invited by my noble Friend to refrain from sitting in court until the end of this year and he has agreed not to sit.
