In 2022/23 the budget for the United Kingdom's Ministry of Justice was 10.1 billion British pounds, a fairly significant increase on the 8.3 billion pounds budgeted in the 2019/20 financial year. Prior to 2021, the budget for the Ministry of Justice peaked in 2009/10 at 9.1 billion pounds, before the coalition government of 2010 adopted a fiscal policy of austerity, which led to spending cuts in most governmental departments. Between 2010/11 and 2015/16 the Ministry of Justice's budget shrank from 9.08 billion pounds to 7.35 billion pounds, approximately 1.75 billion pounds of cuts overall.
