answer text: Ministers and the senior judiciary periodically review the judicial retirement age, magistrates included. There are no plans at present to separately review the retirement age for magistrates, which is set at 70 by section 13 of the Courts Act 2003. The Government has not undertaken an assessment of the potential cost that would be incurred if the retirement age of magistrates were to be raised above 70. There is no plan to do so at this time.
