Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what the cost to the public purse has been of the (a) Royal Courts of Justice and (b) Supreme Court in each of the last five years.
The cost of the Royal Courts of Justice and UK Supreme Court for the last 5 years are detailed in the table below:
Year | Royal Courts of Justice |
2011-12 | £24,336,600 |
2012-13 | £34,548,300 |

2014-15 | £55,811,700 |
2015-16 | £43,288,500 |
Costs of the Royal Courts of Justice in years prior to 2014-15 do not include costs of higher judiciary paid out of the consolidated fund, which have been included for 2014-15 and 2015-16 and are, therefore, not on a like-for-like basis.
