Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how much money was spent on digital court services in each of the last three years; and what that funding was used for.
In the last 3 complete financial years the amounts spent on Information Technology and Telecommunications were:
| Total 16/17 £000 | Total 15/16 £000 | Total 14/15 £000 |
IT services | 136,248 | 111,426 | 106,842 |
These figures cover spend across the whole of the HMCTS organisation, including courts, tribunals, contact centres and headquarters. The figures also include a recharge from the Ministry of Justice for corporate IT and Telecommunications services consumed by HMCTS.
