Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by John Whittingdale (Conservative). It was answered by Lord Clarke of Nottingham (Conservative) on Tuesday, 17 May 2011 on behalf of the Ministry of Justice.


Injunctions (Privacy)

Question
If he will estimate the number of existing injunctions granted on the grounds of invasion of privacy.
Answer

The Ministry of Justice currently holds some limited data on the numbers of injunctions applied for in the county courts, but they do not allow identification of anonymity injunctions. The Department's chief statistician is currently considering how robust data on the number of anonymity injunctions issued by the courts might be collated in the future.
