HC Deb 22 February 1982 vol 18 c311W
Mr. Skeet

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will estimate the cost of refurbishing Crown courts at the Shirehall in Bedford compared with the construction of new courts on a vacant site in Luton.

Sir George Young

This is not a practical alternative, as the Lord Chancellor's Department requires in the long term new courts at Luton rather than at Bedford.
