HC Deb 26 April 1976 vol 910 c34W
Mrs. Millie Miller

asked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster how many members of ethnic minority groups have been appointed justices of the peace in the County Palatine of Lancaster since the present Administration took office; what proportion of such appointments this number represents; and whether he is concerned to increase this number.

Mr. Lever

My Advisory Committees are directed to pay particular attention to the achievement of balanced Benches. In doing so they look for suitable candidates from all ethnic groups within the local community. The detailed information asked for is not readily available.
