Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many people who reside in Morley and Outwood constituency are awaiting trial.

The Government is committed to supporting the recovery of the courts and our decisive action kept justice moving during the pandemic. Now that barristers have returned to work, we can work together to drive down the backlog and ensure victims see justice served sooner.

The Ministry of Justice publishes information on the number of outstanding cases at the magistrates’ court by Local Criminal Justice Board (LCJB) area in the Magistrates rdos tool and for outstanding cases at the Crown Court by LCJB area and Crown Court in the Crown Court rdos tool.

The data that is collated centrally does not include the addresses of individual defendants. This information may be held on court records but to examine individual court records would be of disproportionate costs.
