The request was partially successful.

Dear Ministry of Justice,

The MOJ Press release of 09/04/2020 published here:

states that the Ministry of Justice is:

"Working with the judiciary to expedite sentencing hearings for those on remand to reduce the numbers being held in custody"

Could you please provide me with information on what methods, procedures and practices is the Ministry of Justice engaging with the judiciary to expedite sentencing for those on remand and what are the guidelines it is using to do so.
