§ Mr. Grieveasked the Attorney-General on how many occasions in the last 30 days Her Majesty's judges sitting in London have found themselves at the sitting of the court without a court in which to sit; and what proposals he has for remedying the shortage of court accommodation at the High Court.
§ The Solicitor-GeneralDuring the 30 sitting days up to the end of June 1978 there were six occasions when a High Court judge could not be listed as sitting in a particular court. On each occasion, a courtroom or suitable temporary accommodation was quickly found. Consideration is currently being given to a reallocation of office accommodation within the Royal Courts of Justice with the aim of providing four sets of chambers for family division work and thus releasing four courtrooms for general use.
