Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what are (1) the mean, and (2) the median, number of full days lay magistrates sit per year.
This question was answered on 8th February 2016
In the year for which the most recent data is available (2014/15), the mean number of full day sittings undertaken by magistrates was 19. The information necessary to provide the median number could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.
