HC Deb 12 December 1922 vol 159 cc2641-2W
Mr. LORIMER

asked the Attorney-General if it is intended to abolish the holding of Assizes in the borough of Derby; and, if so, is he aware of the serious inconvenience, loss of time, and injustice which would be caused to all persons in the district of Derby whose attendance is required at Assize Courts, especially as Derby, with its railway facilities, is most favourably situated?

Sir D. HOGG

I have nothing to add to the previous answers I have given on this subject, beyond suggesting that any representations which are proper for the consideration of the Committee should be communicated to its secretary.

Captain BENN

asked the Attorney-Goneral whether, if any changes are recommended to be made in the places at which assizes are now held, any localities affected will have an opportunity of making representations on the subject before any definite change is put into force?

Sir D. HOGG

In reply to this question I would refer the gallant and hon. Member to the answer I gave to the hon. Member for Thirsk and Malton (Mr. Turton) on the 29th of last month.
