I do not have an answer to that question. I will look into the matter and come back to the hon. Gentleman.

- Hansard - - - Excerpts

The Minister is to be commended for coming to the House to make an oral statement on what was inevitably going to be a difficult announcement. Will he confirm that Harwich magistrates court was already earmarked for closure by the Labour Government? Can he also give me an assurance that Harwich will stay open until the new court facilities in Colchester have been constructed and are up and running?

The answer is yes, in both cases.
