Government Departments: Injunctions

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many super-injunctions were in place on 15 August 2025.

Answer

The Government does not routinely publish or hold centralised data on the number of super-injunctions currently in place, due to the sensitive and often confidential nature of such orders.

Where such orders are made, they are typically issued by the High Court under strict judicial oversight and may include provisions that prevent disclosure of their very existence.
