Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many appeals against conviction to the Court of Appeal (Criminal Decision) there have been where (a) leave to appeal has been (i) sought and (ii) refused by a single Judge, (b) the applicant has renewed the application to the full Court and (c) the renewed application for leave to appeal led to the conviction(s) being quashed in each of the last 10 years.

The information requested by The Hon. Member can be found in the table below. This shows the number of applications for leave to appeal a conviction received in each of the last 10 years; the number of those applications that were then refused leave to appeal by the single Judge; the number of those that went on to renew to the full Court; and of those, how many were subsequently allowed and the conviction quashed.
