Magisterial Appointments (Advisory Committee). (Hansard, 6 November 1911)

asked whether an advisory committee for magisterial appointments has been set up for Sussex; if so, can he furnish the names of the committee; if not, what reasons can be assigned for the delay; and is it intended to have one committee for West Sussex and another for East Sussex?

§ The PRIME MINISTER

It is hoped that the advisory committee for Sussex, which there has been some trouble in arranging, will be set up before the end of this month. The division of the county will be duly considered.

Mr. KING

Is it not yet decided whether there should be a committee for each part of the county?

§ The PRIME MINISTER

I think not, I have given the answer the Lord Chancellor gave me, that it is hoped the Advisory Committee will be set up before the end of this month.

§ Earl WINTERTON

asked the Prime Minister if, and when, he is prepared to grant a day for the discussion of the appointment of justices of the peace?

§ The PRIME MINISTER

I have already promised to give an opportunity for discussing the Motion on the Paper in the name of the hon. Member for Wisbech; a date will be announced later.
