Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, whether his Department has had recent discussions with HM Courts and Tribunals Service on warrants issued for forcible prepayment meter installations.

Under the applicable statutory framework, a justice of the peace will deal with applications made in the manner prescribed by law and procedure. HM Courts and Tribunals Service administer those applications in the same manner. My Department has no right or role to intervene in that process, or to interfere in the administration of justice.
