CONSTITUTIONAL AFFAIRS

Courts

Mrs. Curtis-Thomas: To ask the Minister of State, Department for Constitutional Affairs which agency is responsible for the administration of the courts. [16469]

Ms Harman: Her Majesty's Courts Service is responsible for the administration of the courts in England and Wales. HMCS started operation on 1 April 2005 and brought together, for the first time, all Crown, county and magistrates courts.

Mr. Heald: To ask the Minister of State, Department for Constitutional Affairs how many trials in the Crown court lasted for a duration of nine months or more in each of the last 10 years. [1760]

10 Oct 2005 : Column 111W

Ms Harman: I will write to the hon. Member for North East Hertfordshire once the information is available.

Substantive answer from Harriet Harman to Oliver Heald:

You tabled a question for answer on 6 June in which you asked for information about the number of Crown Court trials that had taken place in the past ten years that had lasted more than nine months.

I wrote to you at that time to tell you that date was not then currently available to enable me to provide you with that information since work was still under way to enable detailed information to be extracted from court-based IT systems. I did, however indicate that I expected that work would be completed by the end of this month.

I am writing to you now to let you know that data is now available, although the court-based system from which it is extracted does not contain data before 1997. I can, however tell you that between 1997 and the end of June this year there have been eight completed trials in the Crown Court which have lasted more than nine months from the first day of the trial to the eventual outcome, that is to say either the conviction or acquittal of the defendant(s).

EU Electors

Mr. Hands: To ask the Minister of State, Department for Constitutional Affairs how many EU citizens are entitled to vote in local elections in each London borough; and what percentage of the total electorate this represents in each borough. [15761]

John Healey: I have been asked to reply.

The information requested falls within the responsibility of the National Statistician who has been asked to reply.

Letter from Karen Dunnell to Mr. Greg Hands, dated 10 October 2005:

As National Statistician, I have been asked to reply to your Parliamentary Question asking how many EU citizens are entitled to vote in local elections in each London borough, and the percentage of the total electorate this represents in each borough. (15761)

The attached table provides figures for December 2004 on the portion of the local government electorate for each London Borough (and the City of London) that are entitled to vote through European Union citizenship.
