In Parliament

I appreciate that the shadow Minister has a somewhat luddite approach to implementing new systems.

In terms of the efficiency of the courts estate, I can reassure the hon.

I can reassure my hon.

The outstanding case load has reduced across the UK. I do not have specific numbers for my hon.

I am more than happy to meet my hon. Friend.

We have taken steps to mitigate the risk that social media poses to court cases following a call for evidence in 2019.

The hon. Gentleman makes a good point.

I am aware of the concern that Members have about the use of legal aid in such cases, but I can reassure my hon.

Legal aid is granted only to individuals. There are specific regulations that set out the position relating to multi-party applications.

I have to say to the right hon. Lady that that is an interesting take on a pause.
