HC Deb 16 February 1976 vol 905 cc520-1W
Mr. Kilroy-Silk

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department which magistrates' courts on Merseyside still require defendants who are on bail to surrender and be locked in a detention room before their case is called.

Mr. Alexander W. Lyon

I understand that in the South Sefton Magistrates' Court defendants surrendering to bail are sometimes required to wait in the secure area. In the other Merseyside courts they remain at liberty until their case is called.
