Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Viscount Tenby (Crossbench). It was answered on Monday, 15 November 2010.
Justice: Magistrates’ and County Courts
- Question
- Can the Minister indicate the Government’s response to the 10 specific recommendations made by the Magistrates’ Association last month in the light of future plans mooted abroad by the Lord Chancellor? In asking that question, I declare an interest both as a former magistrate and, in that capacity, as someone who has had to oversee the merger and closure of courts.
- Answer
-
My Lords, I assure the noble Lord that we have been in the closest touch with the Magistrates’ Association. We have listened carefully to its recommendations. I hope some of its concerns will be reflected in the statement that we will make in response to these consultations before the end of the year.
