Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many Recorders sat in each court that was open on the 1 May 2019.

We are unable to supply details of how many Recorders sat in each court that was open on 1 May 2019. This is because the latest published data on sitting days only runs to December 2018 and under the Code of Practice for Official Statistics we cannot provide any more recent data until that data (covering 2019) has been published. The data for 2019 will be published in June 2020.

The latest published data is available here: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/civil-justice-statistics-quarterly-january-to-march-2019.
