Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what methodology HM Courts and Tribunals Service uses for comparing the length of time taken at each court between the first listing of a case and the first hearing; and if he will publish that data.

Data on time from first listing to completion is published in the Criminal Court Statistics: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/criminal-court-statistics. This includes the Crown Court Case Timeliness Tool, which provides first listing to completion statistics for each Crown Court.
