HC Deb 20 March 1969 vol 780 cc131-2W
41. Mr. Montgomery

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will take steps to set up a Crown Court to cover the five county boroughs in the West Midlands conurbation.

Mr. Elystan Morgan

The arrangements for the administration of justice in the higher courts are being examined by the Royal Commission on Assizes and Quarter Sessions, and I do not think that it would be appropriate to take any steps to set up a new court of this nature in advance of their report.
