Peter Dowd – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Ministry of Justice

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Peter Dowd on 2016-09-02.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, whether the recent proposals to allow Probate Registries to collect fees will reflect the actual cost of administration of the Probate Registries; and whether her Department plans that those fees will more accurately reflect the amount of time expended by staff in the Probate Registries.

Dr Phillip Lee

We are carefully considering the responses to our earlier consultation on this issue, and will set out further plans in due course.
