Mr. Clinton Davis

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many committal proceedings in magistrates' courts in England and Wales, presided over by lay justices, occupied more than five hearing days and extended over a period of more than 21 days from the commencement of the proceedings, during 1969 and 1970; and in how many of these cases the accused was remanded in custody during the course of the proceedings.
