HC Deb 25 October 1968 vol 770 c395W
Mr. Whitaker

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what is the approximate average time at present spent by prisoners awaiting trial.

Mr. Elysian Morgan

I regret that this information is not available at present, but I understand that the Royal Commission on Assizes and Quarter Sessions have made a special survey of this matter and will be publishing their findings.
