HC Deb 08 February 1971 vol 811 c64W
Mr. Jopling

asked the Attorney-General if he will list those administrative counties in England which do not now have an assize court; and when one was last regularly held there, in each case.

The Attorney-General

As a result of the Assizes Order 1970, which came into operation on 1st January, 1971, assizes are no longer held for the administrative counties of Buckingham, Hereford, Huntingdon and Peterborough, Rutland and Westmorland. Assizes were held regularly in each of these counties at least twice a year until the end of 1970.
