Nic Dakin (Scunthorpe) (Lab)
On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. Is it right that the Government should slip out just before the recess a written parliamentary statement about the closure of 86 family courts in England, which will restrict access to justice? Given that there has been so much interest in the House about that, it would have been so much better if the Minister had come to the House and talked to us directly.
Madam Deputy Speaker (Natascha Engel)
The hon. Gentleman has put that point on the record, and I thank him for doing so.
