Inner Temple and Middle Temple Library – an update.
Inner Temple has issued a statement this morning. The text of the statement is below:
STATEMENT – Feasibility Study
The Executive Committees of Inner Temple and Middle Temple have agreed to commission a feasibility study to investigate the potential benefits of merging their Libraries and creating a Joint Education and Advocacy Centre. The study will be overseen by a working group chaired jointly by Master Jonathan Hirst for Inner Temple and Master Stanley Burnton, Deputy Treasurer, for Middle Temple.
The results of the study are likely to be available in the late summer and no decisions are anticipated until much later in the year, after full consultation with staff and consideration by the relevant Inn Committees, Bench Table and Parliament.
In particular, no assumption has been made as to which Inn would house the Library and which the Education Centre, should the project proceed.
Vivian Robinson QC
Treasurer
