Lord Allen of Kensington – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Ministry of Justice

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Allen of Kensington on 2015-10-26.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what plans they have to bring forward their review of the mandatory criminal courts charge.

Lord Faulks

It is right that we find better ways to pay the costs of running our criminal courts, and the introduction of this charge has made it possible to recover some of the costs from offenders, which reduces the burden on taxpayers. The Government is keeping the operation of the criminal courts charge under review.
