The Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department, has asked me to reply to your Question about the use of the former Doncaster Crown Court building.The Crown Court moved to its current address on 23 November 1989. Before that, it had rented courtrooms from the Doncaster Magistrates Court. Since the Crown Court moved to its new location, the space has reverted to use by the magistrates court.
