Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Baroness Symons of Vernham Dean (Labour). It was answered on Tuesday, 20 May 2025.


Criminal Cases Review Commission

Question

My Lords, can the Minister give us any indication of how many outstanding cases of this nature are still waiting to be dealt with?

Answer

I will have to write to my noble friend; I do not have those figures in my pack. As I said, the CCRC has a target of completing case reviews in about 85% of cases within 12 months, which it is meeting in 10 months out of 12. I cannot answer my noble friend’s question with an exact figure, but I will write to her.
