Clause 124
Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Bill [Lords]
3:15 pm
Vera Baird (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Department for Constitutional Affairs; Redcar, Labour)
We do not have anyone in mind,other than the Lord Chancellor, at present. We are introducing clause 124 with an eye to the possibility of the role being delegated in the future. If that ever occurred, it would be likeliest to go to a judicial officeholder, but not inconceivable that it would go to some existing national advice board, such as the citizens advice bureaux. At present, we do not have anyone to whom we intend to delegate the role.
