Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what steps his Department is taking to improve the condition of the court estate.
We will be investing £220m in the two years to March 2025 to improve the overall quality and enhance the resilience of the court and tribunal estate and enable us to plan major estates projects with certainty.
We are working to ensure that those buildings most in need of investment get it, and this investment is a step forward in improving the quality of the court estate.
Additionally, work is underway to create new state-of-the-art court buildings in central London and Blackpool.
