Remand in Custody: Children
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many children are detained on remand awaiting trial (a) in total and (b) by (i) age and (ii) duration of time since placed in custody.
Answered by Sir Nicholas Dakin
The latest information on the number of young people held on remand is provided at Table 3.3 at the following link: Youth_Custody_Population_Report_-_Feb_-_25.ods.
It is not possible, without incurring disproportionate cost, to disaggregate these data to show how many of the young people were awaiting trial.
