Courts and Tribunals: Closures
(asked on 25th October 2022) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, if he will list the courts and tribunals that his Department has closed in England and Wales since 2010.
This question was answered on 1st November 2022
The list of courts and tribunals provided on 10 February 2022 in response to PQ 119601 remains current.
The decision to close any court is not taken lightly, it only happens following full public consultation and only when effective access to justice can be maintained. Courts that have closed were either underused, dilapidated or too close to one another.
