Business question from Roger Williams (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 25 January 2007. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
The Magistrates Association has expressed concern about the continuing closure of magistrates courts. In my constituency, some cases cannot proceed because witnesses, victims or defendants cannot attend because of transport problems and yet another court is threatened with closure. Will the Leader of the House make time for a debate on the working of the magistrates court system, which is the core of this country’s criminal justice system?
