§ Mr. Arthur Lewisasked the Attorney-General if, in view of the fact that his Honour Judge Robert Charles Chope pleaded guilty and was sentenced on 3 March for two offences, the Lord Chancellor will dismiss him from the bench.
§ The Solicitor-GeneralJudge Chope was convicted at Penrhyn magistrates court on 2 March 1983 of driving without reasonable consideration to other road users and not having a test certificate. He was fined £60 and his licence endorsed with two penalty points. The suggestion contained in the question is quite unacceptable to the Lord Chancellor.
