Who's Who in the Magistrates' Court https://youtu.be/xY35CKCQpfs

The request was successful.

Dear Her Majesty's Courts and Tribunals Service,

I refer to this video produced by HMCTS

Who's Who in the Magistrates' Court https://youtu.be/xY35CKCQpfs

1. Can you please tell me the total cost of this video in terms of production and distribution.
2. What was the budget for this Video?
3. Can I have a copy of the Minutes of the meeting where this Video was signed off for release by HMCTS?

This video has rightly come in for major criticism - not least from Chief Probation Officers and Directors of HMPPS for its failure to give any prominence at all to the 1000 Probation officers who work daily in our Magistrates Court - YOUR Magistrates Courts - how on earth could you have overlooked them?

Thank you
