In order to offer greater flexibility and improve the efficiency of the HMCTS Estate, there are numerous court buildings which are equipped to handle more than one jurisdiction. Therefore, in cases where there is more than one court located within a building, it is not possible to provide a breakdown of capital expenditure for each court.
The following table shows the 2010-11 capital expenditure for magistrates courts, Crown courts and combined courts where there is a magistrates or Crown court on site:
2010-11 outturn (£ million) | |
Magistrates courts | 100.1 |
Crown courts | 25.5 |
Combined courts | 14.7 |
140.4 |
The following table the latest budgeted HMCTS capital spend for 2011-12:
2011-12 budget (£ million) | |
Magistrates courts | 64.2 |
Crown Courts | 14.1 |
Combined courts | 13.9 |
92.2 |
The capital budgets for 2012-13 and 2013-14 have not yet been allocated and therefore it is not possible to provide a breakdown of proposed expenditure.
