Stockton-on-Tees County Court (Hansard, 26 January 1994)

HC Deb 26 January 1994 vol 236 c241W 241W

§ Mr. Devlin
To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department what future use his Department intends for Stockton-on-Tees county court.

Mr. John M. Taylor
The Lord Chancellor consented on 5 March 1993 to public consultation on the proposal by the circuit administrator for the north-eastern circuit to close Stockton-on-Tees county court. The responses to that consultation are being considered and a decision by the Lord Chancellor will be made shortly. If the court were closed, the present court building would be sold.
