LORD MERTHYR

My Lords, I beg to ask the Question which stands in my name on the Order Paper.

[The Question was as follows:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they can now make any announcement with regard to the payment of compensation to part-time justices' clerks who may lose their employment in consequence of the passing of the Justices of the Peace Act, 1949.]

THE LORD CHANCELLOR

My Lords, this difficult question is still receiving the consideration of Her Majesty's Government. I regret that I am not yet in a position to make any further statement.
