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 606 $aJustice, Administration of$zGreat Britain 606 $2Constitutional & administrative law 606 $aJudges$zGreat Britain 606 $aExecutive departments$zGreat Britain 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aJustice, Administration of 615 0$aJudges 615 0$aExecutive departments 676 $a328.34530941 700 $aWoodhouse$b Diana$0259408 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458404503321 996 $aThe Office of Lord Chancellor$92467608 997 $aUNINA
