§ Lord Mackenzie of Framwellgateasked Her Majesty's Government:
What progress is being made in the case of Judge Gee, who has been suspended since November 1995 on full pay. [HL3373]
§ The Lord Chancellor (Lord Irvine of Lairg)Police investigations, over the progress of which I have no control, continue. Meanwhile, I am considering whether the evidence disclosed in Judge Gee's criminal trial would justify me in concluding, on the civil standard of proof, that Judge Gee had been guilty of misbehaviour sufficient to allow me to remove him from office under my statutory powers to dismiss a Circuit Judge for misbehaviour.
