There are no current plans to extend the standard sitting hours of the Crown Court.<\/p>
The Lord Chancellor has a statutory duty to ensure there is an effective and efficient system to support the carrying on of the businesses of the courts, and that appropriate services are provided for those courts.<\/p>
Alongside this, the way in which an individual sitting day is used with regards to the scheduling and sequencing of cases at the Crown Court is at the discretion of the independent judiciary. In addition to time spent hearing cases in the court room, at either end of the day judges will spend time on other judicial business including reading case files in preparation for the hearing and other aspects of case management. As a result, the hours of a given sitting day can vary from day to day.<\/p>
We recognise that the Crown Court outstanding caseload remains one of the biggest challenges facing the Criminal Justice System and we are committed to reducing the caseload and bringing waiting times down.<\/p>
This Government has increased the number of Crown Court sitting days to 106,500, more than in six out of the last seven years. And we will soon extend magistrates\u2019 sentencing powers from 6 to 12 months, freeing up 2,000 days in the Crown Courts to handle the most serious cases.<\/p>
Alongside this, we invest consistently in the recruitment of c.1,000 judges and tribunal members across all jurisdictions annually.\u202fCrown Court recruitment has been a particular priority and we have successfully increased the number of Circuit judges and Recorders in recent years.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4038", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Heidi Alexander"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Swindon South"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Heidi Alexander"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2024-10-31", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2024-10-31T16:25:34.987Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "54"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2024-10-23", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Crown Court: Working Hours"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what plans her Department has to increase the number of daily sitting hours by Crown Court judges.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1447", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Andrew Rosindell"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Romford"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Andrew Rosindell"} ], "uin" : "10681"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1738030", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Scotland Office"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1738030/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Public confidence in the criminal justice is underpinned by access to swift justice. It is critical that cases progress through the system as quickly as possible, both before and after a charge is made. Improving timeliness and reducing the backlogs of outstanding cases are a priority for me and for this Government.<\/p>

The Crown Court outstanding caseload remains one of the biggest challenges facing the Criminal Justice System and we are committed to reducing the caseload and bringing waiting times down.<\/p>
We want to make sure every victim has the swift access to justice they deserve - however, we recognise that some cases currently take longer to conclude. This is particularly true for rape victims, who on average wait over a year for their case to go to trial. That is why we have committed to fast-tracking rape cases through the courts, ensuring timely and effective justice for victims of these abhorrent offences.<\/p>
More widely, as part of our efforts to hear more cases, we have increased funding so that 106,500 sitting days can be sat at the Crown Court this year - more than six out of the last seven years - and 500 days more than the 106,000 agreed by the previous government in June.<\/p>
Alongside this, we invest consistently in the recruitment of c.1,000 judges and tribunal members across all jurisdictions annually.\u202fCrown Court recruitment has been a particular priority and we have successfully increased the number of Circuit judges and Recorders in recent years. We also continue to use 18 Nightingale courtrooms across eight venues to hear more cases.<\/p>
Most recently, we have announced plans to allow magistrates\u2019 courts to hand down custodial sentences of up to 12 months for a single triable either way offence \u2013 doubling their current powers \u2013 from mid-November.<\/p>
Allowing magistrates to deal with more cases will save up to 2,000 sitting days in the Crown Court, so that time can be reserved for the more serious and complex cases, helping address the Crown Court outstanding caseload.<\/p>
To go further, the Government is considering what can be learned from the Lord Justice Auld\u2019s 2001 Review, including looking again at ideas to help increase capacity in the Crown Court.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4038", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Heidi Alexander"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Swindon South"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Heidi Alexander"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2024-10-28", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2024-10-28T10:03:58.37Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "54"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Justice"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2024-10-21", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Crown Court: Standards"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what steps she is taking to tackle the backlog of cases awaiting Crown Court hearings.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1447", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Andrew Rosindell"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Romford"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Andrew Rosindell"} ], "uin" : "10052"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1735625", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Ministry of Justice"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1735625/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
It is important that the infrastructure of our courts does not prevent hearings from taking place.<\/p>
HMCTS has a facilities management contract with Equans for undertaking routine court maintenance which has delivered over 30,000 routine maintenance jobs across the court and tribunal estate since 1 April 2024.<\/p>
Capital maintenance funding is prioritised to sites that need it most to ensure that buildings are safe, secure, meet statutory requirements and able to ensure the continuity of court and tribunal business for the longer term.<\/p>
HMCTS has a range of capital estate projects planned for financial year 2024/25, including 31 roof, 16 lift and 15 boiler replacements.<\/p>
As a result of this action, less than 0.1% of available sitting days across all jurisdictions are lost due to planned and unplanned maintenance.
