§ 118. Mr. Goochasked the Attorney-General, if he will reverse the decision to discontinue the Holt and North Walsham County Courts, Norfolk, in favour of a county court at Cromer, in view of the long distances many people would have to travel to attend the court at Cromer.
§ The Attorney-GeneralNo. Before the change was decided upon, careful inquiries were made locally and special consideration was given to the position of litigants at the North Walsham and Holt County Courts. My noble Friend the Lord Chancellor was satisfied that the amalgamation of the areas formerly served by these courts with adjacent county court districts was desirable in the interests of the majority of litigants concerned, notwithstanding that some would have to travel longer distances. In present circumstances, better facilities for the administration of justice can be provided at Cromer than at Holt or North Walsham.
