Written Question
Immigration: EU Nationals
Monday 27th June 2016

Asked by: Lord Shipley (Liberal Democrat - Life peer)

Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government when they expect work to begin on the new court complex in Sunderland under the Court Reform Programme.

Answered by Lord Faulks

No decisions have been taken regarding the court estate in Sunderland.

Her Majesty's Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) keeps its operational estate under review to make sure that it aligns with the delivery of reformed court and tribunal services. The reform of court and tribunal services which is underway will provide greater access to the courts using modern technology, reducing the need for attendance at court.
