I propose to take Questions Nos. 677 and 678 together.
Under the provisions of the Courts Service Act 1998, management of the courts is the responsibility of the Courts Service, which is independent in its functions. However, in order to be of assistance to the Deputy, I have had enquiries made with the Courts Service.
Unfortunately, it has not been possible to collate the information requested by the Deputy in the time available. I will write to the Deputy directly when the information is received from the Courts Service.
