answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/07/2014 answer text <p>We must do everything we can to support vulnerable witnesses and help them give their best possible evidence to bring offenders to justice. That's why we are trialling pre recorded cross-examination to allow young and vulnerable witnesses to give evidence away from what can be an aggressive court room atmosphere. This is on top of a range of measures to help reduce the anxiety of attending court, including giving evidence behind a screen. We will continue to explore ways we can use remote links and new technology to help witnesses give evidence from outside the court building.</p><p>The list below sets out the number of courthouses in each of the seven HMCTS Regions in England &amp; Wales. These facilities enable any victim or witness to appear by video link from a different court location to that of the trial court; it is also possible for third party users to access the court system through a secure bridge.</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>HMCTS Region</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Number of courthouses enabled for remote video link.</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Wales</p></td><td><p>22</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>London</p></td><td><p>32</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>South East</p></td><td><p>52</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>South West</p></td><td><p>35</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Midlands</p></td><td><p>40</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>North West</p></td><td><p>31</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>North East</p></td><td><p>37</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Total</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>249</strong></p></td></tr></tbody></table> answering member constituency North West Cambridgeshire answering member printed Mr Shailesh Vara question first answered 02/07/2014 13:09:48 answering member 1496 label Biography information for Shailesh Vara
