HC Deb 03 February 1930 vol 234 cc1500-1
70. Dr. MORRIS-JONES

asked the Attorney-General whether the question of reducing the number of towns in Wales in which assizes are held has been under consideration; and, if so, whether any decision has been arrived at?

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL

I am informed by my right hon. Friend the Lord Chancellor that this matter is receiving consideration, but that he does not feel justified in taking any action in the matter at the present time.

Dr. MORRIS-JONES

Will the learned Solicitor-General bear in mind the fact that, owing to the inconvenience that would be caused by a redistribution of the present assize areas in Wales, it would be very undesirable that any change should be made?

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL

I am sure that that will be borne in mind.
