Courts: Interpreters
Ministry of Justice written
question – answered on 27th December 2017.
Richard Burgon Shadow Lord Chancellor and Shadow Secretary of State for
Justice
To ask the Secretary of
State for Justice, what estimate has he made of the number of unfilled cases
since the contract to provide interpreters to all courts was contracted out;
and if he will make a statement?
Phillip Lee The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Justice
I have provided the number
of unfilled cases in my response to Question 120475. The number of overall
unfilled bookings is available in the published Criminal Court Statistics at
the following link: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/criminal-court-statistics-quarterly-july-to-september-2017
Table L1 in Languages
interpreter and translation services show the number of unfulfilled requests
has continued to decrease since 2013.
The department continues to
monitor its language service services contract closely with the suppliers to
drive improvements and reduce the cost on the taxpayer.
