I beg to move amendment 745, in clause 195, page 149, line 34, leave out “three” and insert “six”.
With this it will be convenient to discuss the following:
Amendment 746, in clause 195, page 149, line 36, after “may”, insert “not”.
Amendment 860, in clause 195, page 150, line 18, at end insert—
“(e) the Commissioner is unfit to hold out office by reason of inability, neglect of duty or misbehaviour.”
Amendment 861, in clause 195, page 150, line 18, at end insert—
“(6) Before removing a Judicial Commissioner the Prime Minister must consult—
