Question to the Attorney General:
To ask the Attorney General, how many (a) successful and (b) unsuccessful appeals against bail were made by prosecutors in Crown courts since 3 December 2012.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) maintains no central record of the number or outcomes of appeals against bail conducted by the CPS in Crown courts. This information could only be obtained by examining all prosecution files maintained during the requested period, which would incur disproportionate cost.
