As the Deputy is aware, under the provisions of the Courts Service Act 1998, management of the courts is the responsibility of the Courts Service which is independent in exercising its functions, which include the provision of information on the courts system.
However, in order to be of assistance to the Deputy, I have had enquiries made and the Courts Service has confirmed that two judicial researchers have been seconded to the Tribunal of Inquiry into Protected Disclosures. it is not anticipated that their secondment will give rise to any administrative difficulties for the courts as judicial researchers generally do not undertake administrative functions.
