To ask the Secretary of State for Justice in respect of how many defendants remanded in custody on indictable-only matters had proceedings been terminated prior to arraignment or no evidence offered in each of the last five years; and how long on average each such defendant was detained in custody.
In order to answer this question, it will be necessary to undertake a detailed analysis' of historic Crown court case data. It will not be possible to complete this work before the start of the summer recess. However, I will write to the hon. Lady with the relevant information as soon as it is available.
