Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what plans he has to modernise the courts and tribunals system.
Answered by Shailesh Vara
We have secured over £700m of funding to invest in our courts and tribunals. We have worked closely with the senior judiciary to develop a plan to reform our courts system so it delivers swifter, fairer justice for everyone in England and Wales at a lower cost. This is a once in a generation opportunity to create a modern, user focused and efficient courts and tribunals service.
