Ministry of Justice: Public Expenditure
(asked on 14th March 2018) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, pursuant to the Answer of 16 November 2017 to Question Ministry of Justice: Finance, what the projected change of his Department's budget for courts in real terms is in each year to 2020.
The Ministry of Justice’s funding from HM Treasury was reported at Spending Review 2015 to fall by 15% between 2015-16 and 2019-20. Taking into account additional resource funding agreed at the Autumn Statement 2016 for prison safety and wider reform, MoJ’s funding in real terms will reduce by 11% between 2015-16 and 2019-20. Future years’ budget allocations have not yet been confirmed and therefore it is not currently possible to provide a breakdown of this reduction by business area. MoJ will shortly be laying its Main Estimate in Parliament, which will provide further detail on our financial plans for the year 2018-19. The table below shows the annual change in HMCTS’s funding from HM Treasury in real terms to 2017/18.
