HC Deb 02 May 1978 vol 949 c35W
Mr. Grocott

asked the Attorney-General if he will list the High Court judges indicating (a) their age, (b) whether they attended State or private schools, (c) their length of tenure as a judge and (d) a date when they will be obliged to retire.

The Solicitor-General

The information for which my honourable Friend has asked is not immediately available, but my noble Friend will be writing to him about it as soon as possible. All High Court judges appointed since 17th December 1959—the date on which the Judicial Pensions Act 1959 came into force—must retire when they reach their 75th birthday.
