The Office of Lord Chancellor
Author: Diana Woodhouse
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1847313000
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 232
Book Description
The office of Lord Chancellor is one that has frequently been questioned. However,the extent and diversity of the questioning seldom attained the proportions reached in the final years of the twentieth century, when they drew attention to the deficiencies of the position of Lord Chancellor, the inherent tensions within that position and the incongruity of such a role in a modern democracy. This book examines these questions. It analyses the development and current position of the Lord Chancellor as head of the judiciary, member of the Cabinet, judge and Speaker in the House of Lords and considers his role in relation to judicial appointments. It also looks at the LCD, the development of which acts as an indicator of the changes in the office of Lord Chancellor. It concludes by making proposals for reform, the most far-reaching of which is the abolition of the office.

HL 75 - The Office of Lord Chancellor
Author: The Stationery Office
Publisher: The Stationery Office
ISBN: 0108557456
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 56
Book Description
The rule of law is a fundamental tenet of the United Kingdom constitution. In the context of the Government, it means more than simple compliance with the letter of the law: it means governing in accordance with constitutional principles. The Lord Chancellor has traditionally had a key role to play, both by defending the independence of the judiciary and by ensuring that the rule of law is respected within Government. The Constitutional Reform Act 2005 substantially changed the office of Lord Chancellor. The Lord Chancellor is no longer the head of the judiciary or speaker of the House of Lords, and since 2007 the office has been combined with that of the Secretary of State for Justice. Yet the duty of the Lord Chancellor in relation to the rule of law remains unchanged. It has become more difficult for post-reform Lord Chancellors with their wider policy responsibilities, more overtly political positions as Secretaries of State for Justice and their reduced role in relation to the judiciary to carry out this duty in relation to the rule of law. Whilst responsibility for constitutional change passed to the Deputy Prime Minister in 2010, the Committee have heard no evidence that he, or any other minister, currently takes responsibility for the state of the constitution as a whole. The Committee concludes that, despite significant changes to the office of Lord Chancellor, it still retains important constitutional duties and responsibilities that go beyond those of other ministers and recommends that the office and its associated responsibilities be retained and strengthened with an amended oath.
