As set out in my previous answer the proportion of oral appeals not represented increased between January – September 2015 in comparison to the previous 2 years. This was the result of the availability of presenting resource in the Home Office to match court listing schedules which varied from forecasts used for planning purposes to a significant extent. Resources were put in place to address this and representation rates increased in the final three months of the calendar year.</p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley question first answered 18/02/2016 16:44:18 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley attachment 1 file name Proportion of oral appeals not represented.pdf title Table 1
