Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Ponsonby of Shulbrede on 18 November 2024 (HL2243), whether they have carried out a risk assessment relating to e-bikes on His Majesty’s Courts and Tribunal Service premises; and if so, what were the dates of the surveys for that risk assessment, and whether they will place a copy of those surveys in the Library of the House.
Risk-assessment surveys have been conducted at sites where there has been a request to store an e-bike. To date, ten sites have been surveyed, with Brighton Family Court deemed suitable to store e-bikes.
The list of sites surveyed are as follows:
- Manchester Crown Square – December 2024
- Newport Magistrates Court - February 2025
- Bristol Civil Justice Centre – March 2025 (1st Assessment), May 2025 (2nd Assessment)
- Ipswich Magistrates - March 2025
- Cardiff Crown - March 2025
- St Albans Crown / St Albans Magistrates - March 2025
- Cardiff Magistrates – April 2025
- Brighton Family Court – June 2025
- Highbury Magistrates – July 2025
- Basildon Magistrates - November 2025
The surveys contain sensitive site-related security information which we do not routinely publish and, as a result, copies will not be placed in the Library of the House.
