Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of using recently closed courts such as Camberwell Green Magistrates Court to help increase capacity that will be needed in the future as a result of the covid-19 outbreak.
This question was answered on 2nd June 2020
The former Camberwell Green Magistrates’ Court building was sold and ownership transferred to the purchaser on 24 April 2020.
HM Courts & Tribunals Service officials are considering whether any recently closed courts which are still owned by HMCTS are suitable for reopening to provide increased capacity.
