What inquiries they have made about the extent to which justices' clerks have compiled lists of doctors and psychiatrists prepared to do court work, and when the outcome of these inquiries may be expected to be made public.
§ Lord BELSTEADThe Government have not thought it right to add to the burden that courts have been facing for the last few weeks, but these inquiries will be made as soon as practicable.
