Kate Green – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Ministry of Justice
The below Parliamentary question was asked by Kate Green on 2014-05-07.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many magistrates sat more than 70 half days in the last year.
Mr Shailesh Vara
The latest records for the number of magistrates that sat for more than 70 half days are for 2012/13. 759 magistrates sat for more than 70 half days in that year. It may also assist if I explain that 244 of those magistrates sat on panels, such as youth, family and fine enforcement.
