HC Deb 26 October 1995 vol 264 cc731-4W
Mr. William Powell

To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department if he will list each capital building programme, costing more than £1 million, completed in each year since 1979–80, by or on behalf of his Department or local magistrates committees, together with the cost expressed in 1995–96 prices. [38331]

Mr. John M. Taylor

A schedule of all Crown, combined court and county court schemes is attached at annexe A. The readily available information on magistrates courts schemes is attached at annexe B. Although it is completed for the last four years, the Department does not hold detailed records of all magistrates court schemes completed prior to 1992 which is when responsibility transferred from the Home Office.
