(asked on 14th December 2021) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, if he will publish any data his Department holds on the type of school attended by members of the magistracy.
This question was answered on 5th January 2022
We do not currently hold data on the type of school attended by members of the magistracy.
We are investing over £1m to support the recruitment of new and diverse magistrates, which will enable applications to be completed online and managed via a new digital recruitment system. This will collect a broader range of data on those applying and appointed to the magistracy, including the type of school attended between the ages of 11 and 16.
