Lord Shipley – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Ministry of Justice

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Shipley on 2016-06-15.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government when they expect work to begin on the new court complex in Sunderland under the Court Reform Programme.

Lord Faulks

No decisions have been taken regarding the court estate in Sunderland.

Her Majesty’s Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) keeps its operational estate under review to make sure that it aligns with the delivery of reformed court and tribunal services. The reform of court and tribunal services which is underway will provide greater access to the courts using modern technology, reducing the need for attendance at court.
