Legal aid statistics bulletin presents statistics on the legal aid scheme administered by the Legal Aid Agency (LAA) for England and Wales. This edition comprises the first release of statistics for the three month period from July to September 2023 and also provides the latest statement of figures for all earlier periods. This edition also includes figures on Criminal Legal Aid Reform accelerated measures, provider contracts and statistics on criminal legal aid data share. These statistics are derived from data held by LAA, produced and published by Legal Aid Statistics team of the Ministry of Justice (MOJ).

Data files the source for the key statistics on activity in the legal aid system for England and Wales in .csv (Comma delimited) format are published on Legal aid statistics: July to September 2023 data files.

Statistician’s Comment

This publication shows that expenditure across civil legal aid has increased year on year and has also increased more over the recent quarters. Criminal legal aid expenditure in the most recent quarter is compared to a period covering the impact of strike action last year in the Crown Court, which in turn reduced workload completed and the associated expenditure, which means that many of the large increases are not indicative of underlying trends in the system.

In the last few quarters, we have seen increases in police station claims and a corresponding increase in representation orders at the magistrates’ court. Expenditure in the police station increased in the quarter again, as expected, due to higher fees for police station advice that were introduced at the end of September 2022. Crown Court workload completions are showing a return to more serious types of claim with trials increasing showing impacts of increased resourcing in the criminal courts.

Overall civil expenditure is increasing which is driven by increases in family law expenditure with the number of claims being paid outside of the fixed fee scheme increasing due to more time being taken during the court process. Other non-family workload has not recovered to the same extent, and this is driven by a slow recovery of housing work although again in the last quarter this has increased. Overall civil legal aid workload still remains below pre-pandemic levels although trends are increasing in domestic violence, immigration and mental health.

For the first time figures are included covering the recently introduced Housing Loss Prevention Advice Service and breakdowns of these numbers are available in the https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/65153d216dfda600148e3751/legal-aid-statistics-main-data-apr-jun-2023.csv" class="govuk-link">underlying data accompanying this report

Introduction

The Justice Data Lab was established in April 2013. Participating organisations supply the Justice Data Lab with details of the offenders they have worked with and information about the services they have provided. The Justice Data Lab team matches these individuals to the re-offending datasets held within the Ministry of Justice and uses statistical modeling techniques to generate a matched control group of individuals with very similar characteristics; including demographic, criminal history and employment and benefit history.

As standard, the Justice Data Lab supplies aggregate one-year proven re-offending rates for that group, and a matched control group of similar offenders. The re-offending rates for the organisation’s group and the matched control group are compared using statistical testing to assess the impact of the organisation’s work on reducing re-offending. We also include the frequency of proven re-offending over the one year as standard following feedback from users.

There are three publication types:

• A summary of the findings of the Justice Data Lab pilot to date (2nd April 2013 to 28th February 2014).

• Tailored reports about the re-offending outcomes of services or interventions delivered by each of the organisations who have requested information through the Justice Data Lab pilot. Each report is an Official Statistic and will show the results of the re-offending analysis for the particular service or intervention delivered by the organisation who delivered it.

• This month the Justice Data Lab team have also produced a document reflecting on the successes and challenges of the pilot, called “Justice Data Lab; The pilot year”. This document shares learning from the experience of running the pilot, details the future of the Justice Data Lab and demonstrates the commitment to continual improvement in the Justice Data Lab service.

For further information about the Justice Data Lab, please refer to the following guidance: http://www.justice.gov.uk/justice-data-lab" class="govuk-link">www.justice.gov.uk/justice-data-lab

Update on the Justice Data Lab Service

We are pleased to announce that the Justice Data Lab will continue to be piloted for another year. The service will continue to be free at the point of use, and the same service model will continue to operate, as detailed in our guidance. Following feedback from users, we are hoping to bring in the following improvements to the service:

• improving the Data Upload Template with further questions about referral routes to the organisation, and where the intervention or programme was received. We will release an updated version of our Data Upload Template over the next few weeks alongside updates to our guidance documents.

• providing additional metrics of re-offending in particular looking at measures of severity

• improving our underlying data, including bringing Offender Assessment (OASys) information into analyses

• taking account of area in our analysis where possible

• within a request, giving the re-offending outcomes by different demographic profiles where possible

• providing power calculations to indicate necessary sample sizes for results which are inconclusive.

These improvements are discussed in more detail in the document “Justice Data Lab; the pilot year”

Main findings to date

To date, the Justice Data Lab has received 80 requests for re-offending information, including 55 reports which have already been published. A further 2 are now complete and ready for publication, bringing the total of completed reports to 57.

To date, there have been 12 requests that could not be processed as the minimum criteria for analyses through the Data Lab had not been met, and one further request that was withdrawn by the submitting organisation. The remaining requests will be published in future monthly releases of these statistics.

Of the 2 reports being published this month:

• One report looks at the effectiveness of The Footprints Project. This analysis shows that the impact of this intervention on re-offending is currently inconclusive.

• One report looks at the effectiveness of the Family Man programme run by Safe Ground. This analysis includes offenders from the two previous Safe Ground requests published in October and November 2013. This analysis shows that the impact of this intervention on re-offending is currently inconclusive.

The bulletin is produced and handled by the Ministry’s a

A compendium of housing statistics for Rural and Urban areas in England.

The September 2025 release of the Digest includes analysis updates for the following topics within this theme:

• Section A. Housing stock: age and type
• Section E. Second and empty homes
• Section F. Homelessness

The supplementary data tables provide additional statistics for each section of the Digest, using the Rural-Urban Classification categories. The Local Authority data tables supply the disaggregated datasets, used to conduct analysis in the Digest, at a Local Authority level where feasible.
