HC Deb 18 June 1877 vol 234 cc1937-8
MR. HERMON

asked the First Commissioner of Works, Whether the arrangements contemplated by the First Commissioner of Works, as stated to the House of Commons on the 17th June 1875, for providing adequate accommodation in the County Court Office at Preston, and for obviating the great inconvenience arising to suitors and others in consequence of the Offices and Court being nearly a mile distant from each other, are likely to be now carried out; and, what steps are proposed to be taken in consequence of the lease of the present offices having expired?

MR. GERARD NOEL

The Board of Works tenancy of the present offices of the County Court of Preston, Sir, will not expire until the 1st of May next, and measures are being taken with a view to offices being provided from that date in closer proximity to the building in which the sittings of the Court are held.
