HC Deb 01 November 1990 vol 178 c741W
Mr. John Evans

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement on plans to implement the Le Vay report.

Mr. John Patten

We have now received and published the report of consultants appointed to prepare an assessment of the costs of implementing the main organisational recommendations in the report of the magistrates courts scrutiny 1989 and of an alternative organisational model. We are giving further thought to the scrutiny recommendations in the light of the consultants' advice and of any comments on their work by interested bodies.
