Injunctions

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government how many super-injunctions are currently in force in England and Wales.

Answer

The Government does not routinely publish or hold centralised data on the number of super-injunctions currently in force, 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.
