§ Mr. Lawlerasked the Attorney-General when the Lord Chancellor expects to restore to Bradford its Crown court; and if he will provide interim facilities whilst a purpose-built court is constructed.
§ The Solicitor-GeneralIt is the intention that in due course the Crown court shall return to sit in Bradford in modern permanent accommodation. In the meantime cases will continue to be heard in the newly-built courthouse in Leeds where there is at present capacity available. It is too early yet to say when the new facilities will be provided in Bradford.
