Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what budget provisions he has made for the implementation of the recommendations in the report entitled Digital Justice: HMCTS data strategy and delivering access to justice.

HMCTS published a full response and progress update in October 2020 to Dr Byrom’s report Digital Justice: HMCTS data strategy and delivering access to justice. The response is available here: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/hmcts-response-and-progress-update-on-dr-natalie-byrom-report and details HMCTS response and progress made to date on each of the 29 recommendations.

Delivery of HMCTS response is funded in part through existing budgets including the Reform programme, and in part through funding from Administrative Data Research UK.
