To ask Her Majesty’s Government what are (1) the mean, and (2) the median, number of full days lay magistrates sit per year.
Answered on
8 February 2016
In the year for which the most recent data is available (2014/15), the mean number of full day sittings undertaken by magistrates was 19. The information necessary to provide the median number could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.
