Courts: Repairs and Maintenance
(asked on 28th January 2020) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what the cost to the public purse was of the maintenance of the court estate in each year since 2015.
HM Courts and Tribunals Service expenditure on maintenance each year since 2016 is provided below:
£000s | 2016-17 | 2017-18 | 2018-19 | 2019-20₂ |
Maintenance and repairs ₁ | 71,274 | 80,478 | 90,890 | 48,600 |
1 Maintenance and repairs expenditure includes fixed maintenance, variable and planned works.
2 2019-20 figures are actual costs until December 2019 and are not full year maintenance costs for 2019-20.
Information relating to annual maintenance costs for 2015/16 financial year is not available on our current systems and we are unable to extract on a similar basis. Therefore we have not provided here due to the disproportionate cost of doing so.
HM Courts & Tribunals Service seeks to make sure that the court and tribunal estate is in the best possible condition to provide appropriate court and hearing room facilities.
