To ask the Minister of State, Department for Constitutional Affairs how much funding has been allocated to Wandsworth county court for (a) headcount-related costs, (b) administrative costs and (c) maintenance costs in each of the last five years. (104800)

Her Majesty’s Court Service (HMCS) was formed on 1 April 2005 by the merger of the Court Service and 42 magistrates Areas. Wandsworth county court was a constituent part of the Court Service.
