1 On 12 April 2000 the Lord Chancellor
announced that no useful purpose was served by having the separate offices
of Assistant Recorder and Recorder. From that date all appointments have been
direct to Recorder and existing Assistant Recorders have become Recorders.
2 On 31 August 2000 Stipendiary Magistrates and Acting Stipendiary Magistrates
were renamed District Judges (Magistrates' Courts) and Deputy District Judges
(Magistrates' Courts) respectively.

Figures supplied by the relevant tribunal or body. Ethnic
origin information is not available for many of the bodies. A major exercise
is being carried out to provide comprehensive statistics about those holding
office in all the tribunals and other bodies for which the Lord Chancellor
has responsibility for appointment. This should mean that more detailed information
can be given in next year's Annual Report.
