- Question by: Joanne McCartney
- Meeting date: 19 November 2020
There is a backlog of criminal cases awaiting a court date, made worse by difficulties during the pandemic. What has this meant for (1) victims of crime in London, (2) the availability of witnesses and (3) defendants? What representations have you made for proper investment in our criminal justice system and for trial dates to be speeded up?
