§ Mr. Hardyasked the Attorney-General how many people serve as magistrates at the present time; what was the average number of sessions each served in 1985; and what were the figures five years ago.
§ The Attorney-GeneralOn 1 January 1986 in England and Wales 16,133 men and 11,554 women were serving as active justices of the peace. In January 1981 the figures were respectively 15,951 and 9,484. The average attendances in 1980 and 1985 could not be ascertained except at disproportionate cost, but an estimate would be between 35 and 40 half-day sittings in each of the two years.
