answer text: 138 of the 142 courts announced as part of the Court Estate Reform Programme (CERP) in December 2010 have now closed. The remaining courts scheduled to close are Andover magistrates court, Rhyl county court and Alton magistrates court. Due to changes in workload Bicester magistrates court will no longer close under the programme. Due to co-location or combined courts, the 141 courts remaining as part of CERP were/are housed in 95 separate properties. The sale of 46 court buildings closed under the Court Estate Reform Programme has generated £ 19.67 million in capital receipts. The total cumulative gross benefits are expected from CERP to be £99.2 million over the SR10 period, consisting of resource savings from court closures of £60.6 million and gross capital proceeds of £38.6 million from the sale of buildings. In addition to the courts announced for closure under the Court Estate Reform Programme the Ministry of Justice has closed and disposed of a number of court buildings as a result of the integration and co-location of courts. The information requested in relation to court buildings which have closed since 2010 is set out in three tables and has been placed in the Library of the House.
