To ask the Minister of State, Department for Constitutional Affairs how many cases were handled in each court in England and Wales in each of the last 12 months; and how many (a) convictions and (b) postponed trials there were in each court in this period. (107502)

Centrally held information is not collected at magistrates court level but at area level and is collected on a quarterly basis.

Figures showing the number of disposals and ineffective trials for each area and Crown court centre have been placed in both libraries of the House. Also provided are the numbers of convictions in each Crown court centre—this information is not held centrally for the lower courts.
