Magistrates' Courts (Buildings)

HC Deb 11 May 1972 vol 836 cc408-9W

46. Mr. Rose

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many magistrates' courts in the North-West have been built since 1945, and how many use buildings created before 1922.

Mr. Carlisle:

Twelve have been built since 1953. The information before this is not readily available, but few court houses were built between 1945 and 1953. It is likely that most of the remaining court houses were built before 1922.
