answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/02/2023 answer text <p>Average timeliness from first listing/receipt at court to completion for drug possession offences (including intent to supply) has been provided in the attached table. Crown Court data is only available from 2014 onwards.</p><p>To increase capacity in the Criminal Justice System, we have removed the limit on sitting days in the Crown Court for the second year in a row, extended Nightingale courtrooms and increased Magistrates’ courts sentencing powers. We're also maximising judicial recruitment, recruiting around 1,000 judges across jurisdictions for 2022/23 to enable us to sit at the maximum possible level over the coming years.</p><p>Our decisive action in the courts kept justice moving during the face of an unprecedented pandemic and as a result, the outstanding caseload in the Crown Court reduced from around 60,600 cases in June 2021 to 57,500 cases at the end of March 2022.</p><p>However, the caseload increased again from April, primarily due to the Criminal Bar Association action, and stood at 62,500 at the end of October. The caseload is now beginning to decrease and stood at 61,900 at the end of November 2022.</p> answering member constituency Finchley and Golders Green answering member printed Mike Freer question first answered 02/02/2023 17:29:04 answering member 4004 label Biography information for Mike Freer attachment 1 file name 2023-02-02 PQ 135254 v2.xlsx title Table

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/02/2023 answer text <p>The Government has announced its intention to legislate against Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation when parliamentary time allows. The means of doing so must be balanced, with scope wide enough to protect free speech and encompass the various areas of laws and tactics used, but not so expansive that it risks hindering access to justice by preventing meritorious claims from proceeding and individuals legitimately defending their reputation.</p> answering member constituency Finchley and Golders Green answering member printed Mike Freer question first answered 02/02/2023 17:30:03 answering member 4004 label Biography information for Mike Freer

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/02/2023 answer text <p>Local Authorities have a statutory duty to make sure that there is sufficient provision in their area to meet the needs of children in their care.

This will provide high quality, safe homes for some of our most vulnerable children and young people and create new places and support provision in secure children’s homes in all nine regions of England.</p><p>The Government’s response to the recommendations in the Independent Review of Children’s Social Care also sets out our longer-term plans to improve the commissioning of Local Authority children’s social care placements.</p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds question first answered 02/02/2023 17:13:58 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many people diagnosed with autism requested but were not granted reasonable adjustments as defined within the Equal Treatment Bench Book in the last year.
tabling member constituency	Tatton
tabling member printed	Esther McVey
uin	133591
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/02/2023 answer text <p>HM Courts &amp; Tribunals Service (HMCTS) considers each reasonable adjustment request it receives on an individual needs basis. HMCTS does not require that people going through the court or tribunal system tell them if they are diagnosed with autism. It is for the requestor to decide whether they tell HMCTS about a diagnosis of autism. If the requestor tells HMCTS they have autism, the agency does not necessarily document that a diagnosis of autism has been given when recording details of requests for reasonable adjustments. The information requested is not, therefore recorded centrally.</p><p>HMCTS will refer any requests from users with disabilities for reasonable adjustments in the hearing to the judge to consider in their independent judicial capacity. The judge will consider such requests in accordance with the Equal Treatment Bench Book.</p> answering member constituency Finchley and Golders Green answering member printed Mike Freer question first answered 02/02/2023 09:36:27 answering member 4004 label Biography information for Mike Freer
