§ Mr. Bestasked the Attorney-General whether the Lard Chancellor issues any guidance for employers of newly appointed magistrates as to the arrangements to enable employees who are magistrates to fulfil their public duties, including the number of days allowed, whether with or without full pay; and if he will make a statement.
§ The Attorney-GeneralGuidance is not given to employers of newly appointed magistrates. Section 29 of the Employment Protection (Consolidation) Act 1978 makes provision for time off work for public duty. It is for 3W employers to determine matters relating to pay; some make no deduction, others do. Financial loss allowance may be claimed when deduction is made.
