<p>Her Majesty’s Courts & Tribunals Service (HMCTS) published its response to

appear on page 16 of that response: -</p><p>Magistrates Courts – Failure to Attend
Warrants (FTA)</p><table><tbody><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p><strong>2011</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2012</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2013</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2014</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2015</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2016</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>2017</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>National</strong></p></td><td><p>115,490</p></td><td><p>109,521</p></td><td><p>95,234</p></td><td><p>94,540</p></td><td><p>92,983</p></td><td><p>92,862</p></td><td><p>93,317</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p>Note:
Figures are for warrants issued in Criminal Proceedings for failing to attend Court,
as well as those issued for failing to comply with the requirements of a Community
Order. Figures are based on cases rather than defendants which means that where a
defendant has more than one case for which a warrant is issued, each instance will
be counted. Data is based on the most serious offence type on a case when it is registered
on the HMCTS Libra Case Management system, and where a warrant is issued at different
hearings for the same case, each issuance will be counted.</p><p>The full document
can be found on GOV.UK at:<br>https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/800874/hmcts-fit-for-the-future-consultation-response.pdf</p><p>The
number of Failure to Attend warrants for 2018, and those between January and April
2019, will be published later this year.</p><p>The Ministry of Justice and HMCTS are
developing a consistent statistical measure of Failure to Appear warrants and will
be publishing a time series of these figures alongside MoJ court statistics later
this year.</p>
