Mr Kenneth Clarke
The National Archives and my Department will continue to co-operate with the ongoing work to get the files released, which we hope to be able to facilitate. Our Department will play its part, together with the National Archives, for which we are responsible.
Tom Brake (Carshalton and Wallington) (LD)
On the subject of magistrates courts, will Ministers consider seriously any proposal from magistrates that would have them hearing cases in venues other than courts so that they can continue to deliver local justice locally?
Mr Djanogly
The answer to that is yes, especially in the context of an increased use of technology.
