As the Deputy will be aware, under the provisions of the Courts Service Act 1998, management of the courts is the responsibility of the Courts Service and I have no role in the matter. Section 4(3) of the 1998 Act provides that the Courts Service is independent in the performance of its functions, which includes the provision of information on the courts system.
However, in order to be of assistance to the Deputy, I have had enquiries made and the Courts Service has informed me that it does not record statistics in the format requested by the Deputy but, in order to be helpful to the Deputy, the Courts Service is compiling the data sought. Therefore I shall arrange for the information requested to be forwarded to the Deputy in due course.
