Magistrates' Courts: Wales
(asked on 8th November 2016) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many Magistrates' Courts in Wales have been closed since, and including, 2010.
This question was answered on 22nd November 2016
Since and including 2010, 21 magistrates’ courts have closed in Wales. The reduction in magistrates’ courts in Wales is due to underutilisation. Closing underused buildings allows us to reinvest in the justice system, improving access to justice and the experience for all court users.
