Injunctions

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice if he will direct HM Courts Service to record the number of injunctive orders granted by the courts which provide that the existence of the injunction may not be disclosed; and if he will make a statement.
Answer

I will assess whether the number of such injunctions should be recorded as part of my consideration of the outcome of senior officials' discussions with press representatives and the judiciary, to which I referred in my reply to my hon. Friend the Member for Newcastle-under-Lyme (Paul Farrelly) on 28 October, Official Report, column 422W. I will make a statement in due course.
