Written question asked by Lord Steinberg (Conservative), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord Hunt of Kings Heath (Labour) on Wednesday, 26 March 2008.


Supreme Court

Question
asked Her Majesty's Government:What is the current estimate of the cost of establishing the new Supreme Court.
Answer

My noble friend, Lord Falconer of Thoroton made a Statement to this House on 14 June 2007. The estimated set-up cost of the Supreme Court remains at £56.9 million. However, as is to be expected in a building of this age, some damage to the fabric of the building has been found, which we are investigating. I will make a Statement to the House when the full extent of the damage is known. Pending further information, the programme continues to be on target to deliver on time and within the budget.
