Mr. William Powell

To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department, if he will list each law court's capital buildings programme, costing more than £1 million completed in each of the years 1979–80 to 1992–93 by or on behalf of his Department, or local magistrates' committees, together with the cost expressed in 1995–96 prices. [10861]

Mr. Jonathan Evans

A schedule of all Crown, combined court and county court schemes is at annex A. The readily available information on magistrates court schemes is at annex B. The Department does not hold detailed records of all magistrates court schemes completed prior to 1992, when responsibility transferred from the Home Office.
