HL Deb 16 November 1972 vol 336 cc905-6WA
LORD TREFGARNE

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What long-term proposals they have for the first-tier centre of the higher courts in Cornwall.

LORD HAILSHAM OF SAINT MARYLEBONE

After consulting local interests, I have decided to accept the recommendation of the Royal Commission on Assizes and Quarter Sessions that the location of the first-tier centre in Cornwall should be changed from Bodmin to Truro. The change will take place when the necessary accommodation can be built at Truro.
