	tabling member printed	Baroness Thomas of Winchester
	uin	HL15961
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/06/2019 answer text <p>It is important that appeals are heard as quickly as possible. The Ministry of Justice recognises that there are delays in the system and is in the process of recruiting more judicial office holders in order to increase capacity and help to reduce waiting times for appellants. In the Social Security and Child Support (SSCS) jurisdiction, 225 new medical members and 119 disability-qualified members have recently been appointed and are now hearing cases. The SSCS jurisdiction will also benefit from the fact that 250 fee-paid judges and 100 salaried judges are being recruited across tribunals more widely. In addition, we have recently launched a new digital service with a view to enabling speedier processing of appeals and providing a better service for all parties to the proceedings.</p> answering member printed Lord Keen of Elie question first answered 06/06/2019 15:53:03 answering member 4538 label Biography information for Lord Keen of Elie

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/06/2019 answer text <p>The sums my Department has spent on legal representation for the Government at inquests in each of the last ten calendar years are set out below.</p><p>2009 £2,742,878.88</p><p>2010 £2,454,272.31</p><p>2011 £2,573,967.95</p><p>2012 £2,292,076.76</p><p>2013 £2,861,681.67</p><p>2014 £2,806,249.30</p><p>2015 £2,947,851.78</p><p>2016 £3,568,044.30</p><p>2017 £4,198,893.32</p><p>2018 £3,720,373.41</p><p> </p><p>These are the costs of representation for the Ministry of Justice, Her Majesty's Prison &amp; Probation Service and the Youth Justice Board, and for their staff. In the vast majority of cases the legal representatives are acting for both the body and all members of its staff called as witnesses, and the respective costs cannot therefore be separated. In a very small number of cases separate representation is provided for one or more members of staff.</p><p> </p><p>The costs of representation for contracted prisons and their staff are met by the provider. Before the National Probation Service was created in April 2014 each Probation Trust met its own representation costs, and since then each Community Rehabilitation Company has done likewise. In addition, in 2009 and 2010 £17,770.07 was incurred on representation for prison Independent Monitoring Boards.</p> answering member constituency Blackpool North and Cleveleys answering member printed Paul Maynard question first answered 05/06/2019 16:13:24 answering member 3926 label Biography information for Paul Maynard
