(asked on 2nd April 2019) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how much is projected to be spent from the public purse on the courts reform programme in each financial year between April 2019 and 2025.
Between April 2019 and 2025 the HM Courts and Tribunals service is projecting to spend £610m on the Reform.
Broken down by year this would equate to:
Year | Implementation Costs |
2019/20 | £219m |
2020/21 | £167m |
2021/22 | £96m |
2022/23 | £55m |
2023/24 | £48m |
2024/25 | £25m |
The ambitious Reform programme, developed in partnership with the Judiciary is bringing new technology and modern ways of working to the justice system. New digital services are already making a difference, with 150,000 people using online justice systems in 2018.
Public feedback is positive with 85% of people reporting they are happy with the new divorce service, 93% for probate and 89% for civil money claims. Spending is continually monitored to ensure the £1bn budget it met.
