Lord Falconer, lord chancellor, has announced the new supreme court will be housed in Middlesex Guildhall in London’s Parliament Square, at a cost of about £30m plus running costs.
He unveiled the building as the preferred site despite some law lords’ reservations.
It is currently used as a crown court. The Department for Constitutional Affairs is in talks with English Heritage to seek permission to redevelop the building.
