11th Oct 2024
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of reducing the cap on the number of Crown Court sitting days on the average time taken for cases to be heard.

Every year, the Government and the Judiciary agree a number of sitting days and an overall budget in what is known as the Concordat process.

In June, the Judiciary reached an agreement with the former Lord Chancellor to sit 106,000 days in the Crown Court within a total budget of £275 million.

To support efforts to maximise capacity, the Lord Chancellor has since agreed to fund an additional 500 days.

But there has been over listing against this budget – with more trials scheduled than the funding allows.

As a result of that, approximately 1,600 sitting days had to be withdrawn. The level of impact will vary across regions and is being managed closely to ensure there is minimal disruption to all involved.
