31. Mr. Harry Greenway

To ask the Attorney-General if he will make a statement on the appointment of judges.

The Solicitor-General

The Lord Chancellor seeks, for each judicial post, the candidate who appears to him to be the best qualified to fill it and perform its duties, regardless of sex, ethnic origin, political affiliation, or religion. Copies of a speech made by the Lord Chancellor on this subject, and copies of a booklet entitled "Judicial Appointments: The Lord Chancellor's Policies and Procedures" will be placed in the Libraries of both Houses.
