Jonathan Edwards – 2015 Parliamentary Question to the Ministry of Justice

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Jonathan Edwards on 2015-09-17.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what the annual running costs were of (a) Carmarthen Law Courts (The Guildhall) and (b) Carmarthen Civil, Family, Tribunal and Probate Hearing Centre in each financial year from 2008-09 to date.

Mr Shailesh Vara

Annual running costs for Carmarthen Law Courts (The Guildhall) and Carmarthen Civil, Family, Tribunal and Probate Hearing Centre are provided below. The figures provided do not include staff or judicial costs as it is not possible to attribute all of these costs to a particular site.

The Ministry of Justice does not hold comparable annual running costs data for the years 2008/9 to 2011/12.

For Carmarthen Civil, Family, Tribunal and Probate Hearing Centre prior to 2014-15 running costs were not allocated to this building and were distributed across a number of sites. It is therefore not possible to provide consistent running cost data for previous years.
