HC Deb 08 December 1998 vol 322 c155W
36. Mrs. Laing

To ask the Minister of State, Lord Chancellor's Department what representations he has received on the future of Epping Magistrates Court. [61259]

Mr. Hoon

I considered three representations on the future of the Epping Magistrates Court, before approving the application made by the Essex Magistrates Courts Committee for the reorganisation of its petty sessional divisions.

I understand from the Justices' Chief Executive for the Essex Magistrates Courts Committee that the Committee has no proposals to close the Epping Magistrates Court.
