Information about the reasons for remand decisions is not centrally held within the Court Proceedings database. It is therefore not possible to identify whether defendants were remanded in custody for their own protection or welfare as an exception to bail under the Bail Act 1976 from the established remands data. This information may be obtained through a manual search of court records, but to do so would incur disproportionate costs.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Ministry of Justice has published more general information on remand status at both magistrates\u2019 and Crown Courts, up to December 2019, available in the following data tools:<\/p>
