To ask the Minister of State, Department for Constitutional Affairs what plansshe has to reorganise the magistrates courts systemin South Wales; and if she will make a statement. (106271)

HMCS is currently looking at all its courts across England and Wales to see how we can ensure that we are getting the most from our court estate. In South Wales, various alternatives have been suggested, but none have been put to me as final proposals. Should any proposal come forward that requires change in the current estate, full public consultation would be undertaken.
