Monday 23rd October 2023

Question to the Attorney General:

To ask the Attorney General, whether the Crown Protection Service is continuing to consider new cases involving potential breaches of the Coronavirus Act 2020.

The police may continue to submit cases under the Coronavirus provisions, which the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) will review in line with the CPS Code for Prosecutors.
