answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/09/2014 answer text <p /> <p /> <p>The Department is not able to provide this information as it would incur disproportionate cost. The Justice Secretary has been on a significant number of domestic visits in the 18 months since January 2013. This would require extensive diary searches and work to compile the information. The Justice Secretary and members of the Ministerial team regularly visit courts, prisons and probation trusts and other organisations relevant to the Ministry of Justice’s business. The purpose of these visits is to meet frontline staff and stakeholders, discuss their work, and to inform the development of policy.</p> answering member constituency South West Bedfordshire answering member printed Andrew Selous question first answered 24/09/2014 11:28:40 answering member 1453 label Biography information for Andrew Selous
