Mr. Boateng

To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department what percentage of people seeking a grant of probate currently receive it within eight weeks of an application being received by the authorities.

All grants of probate and other grants of representation are issued within eight weeks, unless the grant cannot be issued because of factors beyond the control of the probate service.
