HC Deb 04 February 1999 vol 324 c764W
Mrs. Ellman

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is the median time taken for the Criminal Cases Review Commission to reach a decision on reference to the Appeal Court. [67830]

Mr. Boateng

I understand that since April 1997, the median 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 212 working days.
