answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/09/2014 answer text <p /> <p>HMCTS does not collate this information centrally. Warrants of entry are issued by Magistrates’ courts and each Magistrates court that issues warrants maintains the data associated with it in a manual log. Courts are required to hold warrants issued for a period of three years. Only manual checks at every magistrates’ court could answer this request, and even then only for the last three years. This would incur disproportionate costs.</p> answering member constituency North West Cambridgeshire answering member printed Mr Shailesh Vara question first answered 05/09/2014 15:29:05 answering member 1496 label Biography information for Shailesh Vara
