Lay justices' allowances
Courts Bill [Lords]
10:45 am
Mr Nick Hawkins (Surrey Heath, Conservative)
It is useful to have a record of the fact that the Minister recognises, as all hon. Members do, the importance of the work of lay magistrates. I did not really expect him to accept the amendment, but felt that it was important to have the debate, so I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
Question proposed, That the clause stand part of the
Bill.
