HC Deb 19 July 1979 vol 970 c780W
Dr. Edmund Marshall

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what objections he has received to the proposals of the Humberside magistrates' courts committee for reorganisation of petty sessional areas in Humberside.

Mr. Brittan

Objections have been received from nine local authorities, three firms of solicitors, the chairman of a local bench of magistrates and a local resident. The principal ground of these objections is that inconvenience would be caused if court houses were closed following the proposed reorganisation of petty sessional divisions.
