Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, whether his Department has sold Camberwell Green Magistrates' Court building.

HM Courts & Tribunals Service has exchanged contracts on the sale of Camberwell Green Magistrates’ Court. The sale will only be completed following the closure of the court and once vacant possession has been confirmed.

The decision to close Camberwell Green Magistrates’ Court was not taken lightly and followed a public consultation that concluded the local community will have reasonable access to alternative courts.

All money raised from the sale of the surplus property will be reinvested in the reform of HM Courts & Tribunals Service.
