Answer
Centrally held court data does not include the amount of time spent remanded in custody, and therefore obtaining this information would result in a disproportionate cost to the department.
Prison receptions data has enabled an approximation of the data that has been requested. The attached table provides information on the mean and median amount of time that individuals were remanded in custody up to the point that they were sentenced.
