HC Deb 04 March 1998 vol 307 cc679-80W
Mr. Gordon Prentice

To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department if he plans to extend the length of the law terms; and if he will make a statement. [31578]

Mr. Hoon

The Department has no such plans. The county courts and crown courts do, however, sit throughout the year and the Court of Appeal and the High Court sit during the vacation to hear cases deemed to be urgent.
