Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what annual savings he estimates the courts reform programme will have made by 2021 when that programme is complete.
We are investing over £1bn to modernise the courts and tribunals service. This investment will make sure we are able to save over £230m per annum through efficiencies once the reforms are implemented in full, by introducing new technology and working practices. This includes £200m per annum for the Reform Programme, which is part of that portfolio of change. Steady state savings will not be realised until 2023/24.
