Lady Hermon (North Down, UUP)

I am grateful to the Minister for graciously giving way. The Diplock courts obviously preceded the list in schedule 1 to the Justice (Northern Ireland) Act 2002 of people who do their jobs very competently but are not all legally qualified. Will the Minister enlighten us as to what used to happen if the Lord Chief Justice found himself indisposed or too busy? To whom did he delegate?
