Proceeding contribution from Vera Baird (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 5 March 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Bill [HL].

Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Bill [Lords]

I am happy to respond. It is intended that the usual form of address—““sir””, ““madam”” or whatever—will continue. The person filling that position has variously been called the commissioner, the chair and, as I remember from the Lands Tribunal, the member, but the name ““judge”” connotes independence, so we wanted that to be used.
