HC Deb 09 February 1971 vol 811 cc100-1W
40. Mr. Denzil Davies

asked the Attorney-General what is the estimated average length of time between an appellant's conviction in the lower courts and the receipt by the Registrar of the Court of Appeal, Criminal Division, of the transcript of the case.

The Attorney-General

A sample check of transcripts delivered in November and December, 1970, and January, 1971, shows an average interval of 13 weeks. This includes the period from conviction to receipt of notice of appeal, before which no transcript can be ordered.
