Courts: Northern Ireland
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what recent discussions she has had with the Justice Minister in Northern Ireland on backlogs in court cases.
Answered by Heidi Alexander
The Lord Chancellor has not yet had the opportunity to discuss the courts and tribunals across England and Wales, including the backlogs that some jurisdictions face, with the Northern Ireland Justice Minister. Ministry of Justice ministers are hopeful that they will have the opportunity to discuss courts throughput with the Justice Minister soon, either bilaterally or through the Inter-Ministerial Group for Justice.
