Convictions
(asked on 6th January 2023) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many convictions in absence have there been in each of the last 12 years.
This question was answered on 16th January 2023
Information on the number of convictions in absence is not centrally recorded in the Court Proceeding Database held by the Ministry of Justice and to obtain it would involve a manual interrogation of court records. Extracting this information would, therefore, result in a disproportionate cost to the department.
