Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many defendants remanded in custody at a magistrates’ court (a) received an immediate custodial sentence, (b) received a non-custodial sentence, (c) failed to appear, and (d) were acquitted in Wales from 2013 to 2017.

Both the above PQs can be answered using the following published data tools from the Criminal Justice Statistics: December 2017 report (published May 2018):

To limit the data to Wales in the above tools, select Welsh Police forces from the ‘Police Force Area’ filter. Outcomes of those remanded in custody can be determined using the ‘Outcome’ filter.
