Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, pursuant to the Answer of 13 July 2023 to Question 193166 on Magistrates' Courts: ICT, what the sentencing outcomes were of defendants in that data set who were convicted.

This information may be held on court records but to examine individual court records would be of disproportionate costs. It is not possible to interrogate the original data set provided under the previous answer so as to provide the specific answers requested.

Defendants may be tried for multiple offences, with different pleas entered for different offences, and those pleas and the defendant’s remand status can change over time. This information may be held on court records but to examine individual court records would be of disproportionate costs.
