Mr Kenneth Clarke
The Government, led by my right hon. Friend the Deputy Prime Minister, are giving careful consideration to that point.
Dr John Pugh (Southport) (LD)
T10. The Ministry has a laudable and exemplary commitment to evidence-led policy. Given that, can the Minister assure me that when he reviews the magistrates courts, he will look critically at the information on the condition and use of Southport’s courts in the Ministry’s consultation document—which is, frankly, duff, inaccurate and misleading?
Mr Djanogly
I do not know how the consultation report was misleading, but if the hon. Gentleman contacts me later I shall be happy to look at it.
