Crown Court: Witnesses
(asked on 23rd May 2018) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what the average witness waiting time was at each Crown Court in each of the last three years.
This question was answered on 8th June 2018
Average witness waiting times at each Crown Court in each of the last three years is contained in the table attached.
Our commitment to witnesses, in terms of time spent waiting at court, is clearly set out in The Witness Charter, namely that everyone involved in a case will seek to ensure that witnesses do not have to wait more than two hours at court before giving evidence. Where the circumstances of a case do not make this possible, witnesses are kept informed.
