Philip Davies – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Ministry of Justice

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Philip Davies on 2016-09-12.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, (a) how many and (b) what proportion of (i) male and (ii) female offenders convicted of each offence in the violence against the person offence category were remanded in custody (A) pre-conviction and (B) post-conviction in each of the last three years.

Mr Sam Gyimah

The number and proportion of male and female offenders remanded in custody before conviction for violence against the person offences, at magistrates’ courts and the Crown Court in England and Wales, between 2013 and 2015, can be viewed in the table.

Reliable information on post-conviction remand status for offenders convicted at Crown and magistrates’ courts is not centrally held and could only be provided at disproportionate cost.

Court proceedings data for 2016 will be published in due course.
