Courts: Reprography

Keith Vaz
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how many courts provide photocopying facilities in (a) England and Wales and (b) the East Midlands; and how many courts charge for the use of such a facility.

Bridget Prentice
HMCS does not hold information about the number of courts within England and Wales, including the East Midlands, which provide photocopying facilities. However, all courts will usually provide some facility for copying documents. A fee is payable for a request to copy documents in civil and family courts and in any probate registry as prescribed by the relevant fees orders.
