asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department by what means the Judges' Rules have been officially drawn to the attention of magistrates, stipendiary and lay.

A circular was issued by our Department to clerks to justices enclosing a copy of the Rules when they were revised in 1964; they are also set out in full in Stone's Justices' Manual. In addition I understand from my noble Friend the Lord Chancellor that the Rules are brought to the attention of magistrates during their basic training.

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether the exact text of the Administration Directions appended to the Judges' Rules was approved by the Queen's Bench Judges, or only the general content.

The former.
