§ Mr. BoatengI understand that since April 1997 the average length of time taken, from receipt of the application, to reach a decision on cases (other than those which the Commission has determined do not meet the eligibility criteria laid down by the Criminal Appeal Act 1995) was 193 working days. The most common length of time taken was equally 182 working days and 256 working days (the same number of cases took each period).
