HC Deb 28 October 1983 vol 47 c219W
Mr. John Fraser

asked the Attorney-General what is the average time that now elapses between the laying of an information with a justice of the peace and the issue of a summons.

Mr. Mellor

I have been asked to reply.

The information is not available centrally, but I understand that normally no more than one or two days would pass between the laying of an information and the issue of a summons.
