Judicial Committee of the Privy Council

HL Deb 24 September 2002 vol 638 c256WA

Lord Lester of Herne Hill

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Further to the Written Answer by the Lord Chancellor on 8 July (W A 65), whether they will conduct an appraisal of the resources available to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. [HL5173]

Lord Williams of Mostyn

The resources available to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council are kept under review and the funds voted annually to the Privy Council Office take full account of its needs. The noble Lord may be interested to know that we have addressed the question of audibility in the council chamber, a matter which he has previously raised, and it has been agreed that a new sound system should be installed. If the noble Lord has any other particular issues in mind he is welcome to write to me about them.
