Written Question
Courts: Buildings
Tuesday 21st November 2023

Asked by: Andy Carter (Conservative - Warrington South)

Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what steps his Department is taking to improve the court estate.

Answered by Mike Freer - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Ministry of Justice)

The condition of the court estate matters – for the standing of the justice system in our society, but also for all court users, including the victims and witnesses who rely on the courts to see justice done.

We have significantly increased the budget to maintain the court and tribunal estate. The £220m two-year settlement is already enabling major estates projects to be planned with certainty and efficiency.
