Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Sarah Sackman and Munira Wilson

Tuesday 17th March 2026 Commons Chamber

Lady will know, as I have updated the House, that we intend to bring forward new licensing arrangements to make court listings and registers available to more people—for journalists in particular—and we will bring forward plans as to how Courtsdesk and others can bid for those new licences.
