HC Deb 23 January 1986 vol 90 cc265-6W
40. Mr. Amess

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement on the prospects for a new courthouse in Basildon.

Mr. Giles Shaw

Essex county council is responsible for providing the new magistrates courthouse, in consultation with the magistrates courts committee. We offered the council a building start date of 1987–88 and this has been accepted. At present further action on the scheme rests with the council.
