answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/03/2022 answer text <p>Data collated centrally by MOJ does not include a count of ‘abandoned’ trials. Rather, trials are recorded as ‘ineffective’, meaning, that does not go ahead on the scheduled trial date and a further listing is required. This can be due to action or inaction by one or more of the prosecution, the defence or the court.</p><p> </p><p>There has been an increase in ineffective trials during the pandemic, partly driven by defendants being ill due to Covid. We continue to take action to tackle the impact the pandemic has had on our courts and tribunals system. We invested a quarter of a billion pounds to support recovery in the last financial year (20/21). In the recent Spending Review, more than £1 billion has been allocated to boost capacity and accelerate recovery from the pandemic in courts and tribunals. This increased funding will enable us to hear more cases and reduce backlogs. We removed the limit on the number of days the Crown Court can sit in the 21/22 financial year and as a result of this, in the next financial year we expect to get through 20% more Crown Court cases than we did pre-Covid (116,700 in 22/23 compared to 97,000 in 19/20).</p><p> </p><p>We have also been asked to provide data on how many trials for offences of rape, sexual assault and indecent assault have been abandoned from their start dates and are awaiting a new start date as of 17 February 2022. However, the total number of trials for rape, sexual assault and indecent assault would include those where a new trial date is not required (e.g. a plea has changed to guilty), so we are not able to accurately answer that question.</p><p>We have provided data on ineffective trial reasons where the sole reason is no advocate being available for one or both sides in the attached document. The data for each calendar year includes the figures as of 31<sup>st</sup> December of that year. For 2021, we provide data up to the 30<sup>th</sup> September which is the latest data available. This data shows that before the pandemic, the numbers of ineffective trials were falling significantly across all the offence types listed.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South Suffolk answering member printed James Cartlidge question first answered 04/03/2022 16:26:32 question first ministerially corrected 17/03/2022 16:45:29 answering member 4519 label Biography information for James Cartlidge attachment 1 file name PQ 125045-47, 125050-055 table (revised).xlsx title Table previous answer version 55324 answering member constituency South Suffolk answering member printed James Cartlidge answering member 4519 label Biography information for James Cartlidge attachment 1 file name 125045-125055 table.xlsx title 125045_55_table
