Justice written question – answered at on 4 May 2011.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice whether he has made an estimate of the likely required change in staffing levels for work relating to benefit tribunals in the comprehensive spending review period.
Our current assessment is that at least 113 additional administrative staff will be required to support this work during the period 2011-12, together with significant additional funding to cover judicial and other non-staff costs. Recruitment of additional staff on fixed-term contracts is already under way. We will revisit the resource requirements for the later years of the spending review at a later date.
