From 1 April responsibility for magistrates' courts will be transferred from the Home Office to the Lord Chancellor's Department. A new junior Minister post is being created. This follows strong representations against the recommendations of the Le Vay report which said magistrates courts removed from the Home Office and be set up as an executive agency (Magistrates' Courts: report of a Scrutiny 1989 Vols I & II HMSO £8.95).

Our work is only possible with your support.
