Crown Court: Buildings

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many courtrooms in each Crown Court building in England and Wales have been unused in each of the last three years.

Answer

HM Courts & Tribunals Service (HMCTS) does not record how many courtrooms in each Crown Court building in England and Wales have been unused in each of the last three years. Crown courts sit twice a day in sessions and utilisation is monitored by measuring the number of sessions available and those used. It would be a disproportionate cost to ascertain accurately the number of crown courtrooms unused from this data.
