question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, with reference to page 25 of his Department's publication entitled Final Report: Review of legal aid for inquests, if his Department will publish the method by which it assessed that it would cost between £30 million and £70 million to provide non-means tested legal aid in the event that it be awarded to families at all inquests where public bodies are represented.

uin	36771
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/07/2022 answer text <p>Our assessment of cost was derived from a number of data sources: data from the January to March 2018 edition of the Legal Aid Statistics was used to determine the current volume and costs of inquests receiving legal aid and a unit cost for an inquest was assumed using median spend; the Coroners Statistics 2017 were used to estimate the annual number of future inquests; a survey of senior coroners was used to inform an assumption for the proportion of inquests that had public bodies represented and given the level of uncertainty on this, a range was used. By combining this assumption with the total number of inquests we arrived at an estimated volume of cases annually that would have state representation.</p><p> </p><p>Applying the unit cost of inquests to the estimated volumes gave an estimated additional spend ranging from £30m to £70m (rounded to the nearest £10m).</p> answering member constituency Derbyshire Dales answering member printed Miss Sarah Dines question first answered 19/07/2022 15:54:18 answering member 4816 label Biography information for Miss Sarah Dines

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/07/2022 answer text <p>The Bail Act 1976 creates a general presumption in favour of bail. The court can, however, refuse bail for a variety of reasons, including where it is satisfied that refusing bail is necessary for the defendant's own protection (adults) or own welfare (youth).</p><p> </p><p>The court’s decision to remand an individual in custody for their own protection is used as a last resort and out of concern for the defendant, where circumstances are such that a defendant would come to harm if released into the community and there is no other suitable option available to the courts.</p><p> </p><p>The Department does not centrally hold data on the reasons for remand into custody although we understand, anecdotally, that the power to remand for own protection is used sparingly.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is committed to tackling domestic abuse. This commitment is demonstrated by our landmark Domestic Abuse Act last year, and more recently the Tackling Domestic Abuse Plan. The Act has established a wide-ranging statutory definition of domestic abuse that incorporates a range of abusive behaviours beyond physical violence, brings in important new protections and support for victims in court and creates new offences such as non-fatal strangulation. Building on the Act, the Tackling Domestic Abuse Plan seeks to transform the whole of society’s response in order to prevent offending, support victims and pursue perpetrators, as well as to strengthen the systems and processes in place to deliver these goals.</p> answering member constituency Corby answering member printed Tom Pursglove question first answered 19/07/2022 08:06:13 answering member 4369 label Biography information for Tom Pursglove
