§ Mr. Grieveasked the Attorney-General if, in view of the fact that one of Her Majesty's judges, who has been trying a heavy commercial case in the High Court, has been obliged to change courts no fewer than 10 times, involving great inconvenience not only to the the court but to everyone concerned in the case and the transport of a large quantity of papers and books, he will make sure that an adequate number of courts in the Royal Courts of Justice are available by the beginning of the next legal term.
§ The Solicitor-GeneralMy noble Friend regrets the inconvenience, but because of the shortage of accommodation in the Royal Courts of Justice it is inevitable that, on occasion, judges are asked to move from one court room to another. Two further court rooms have 137W recently been made available. It is hoped that four extra sets of chambers can be provided by a reallocation of office accommodation. This will result in the release of four court rooms currently being used for chambers work.
