I have been asked to reply. The Lord Chancellor consults the Lord Lieutenant, and persons representing different points of view, about the members he appoints to his advisory committees. He does not bind himself to consult any particular organisation or individual. The committees are appointed to advise the Lord Chancellor, and any noble Friend is, of course, free to select his advisers in the manner he thinks most suitable.
