Mr. George Cunningham
asked the Attorney-General in what manner the judges of the Queen's Bench have currently published the Judges' Rules.
The Attorney-General
The Judges' Rules are framed by the judges of the Queen's Bench Division. The current Rules were promulgated by the Lord Chief Justice in January 1964, when copies were sent to all judges, recorders and chairmen and deputy chairmen of quarter sessions and to clerks of all Crown courts. Since then, copies have been sent to all judges on appointment. The Rules are published by Her Majesty's Stationery Office as an appendix to Home Office Circular No. 31/1964. The Rules are reproduced in legal text books, notably Archbold's Criminal Pleading, Evidence and Practice.
