The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, whether he plans to release Family Court Statistics with a regional breakdown.

Answered by Ministry of Justice

The Ministry of Justice already publishes Family Court Statistics with regional breakdowns. The Family Court Statistics Quarterly releases include CSV datasets containing regional-level information for a range of family justice measures across England and Wales, including volumes, open caseload and timeliness metrics. They are available here: Family Court Statistics Quarterly - GOV.UK.

The Department will continue to keep its statistical releases under review to ensure it meets user needs.
