The Attorney General – A difficult role
Patrick
Hastings who was made Attorney General in the Labour led government of
Ramsay Macdonald is said to have described his tenure of office as ‘my
idea of hell!’ It was not a position eagerly sought by him but only
willy-nilly thrust upon the labour MP.
The hastily created Labour/Liberal coalition government of 1923 had only a handful of Kings Counsel in their ranks, out of whom Hastings being the least objectionable. Although with the office came a knighthood and the recognition as the head of the bar, Hastings later commented: “If I had known what the next year was to bring forth I should most certainly have declined.”
