Question to the Attorney General:
To ask the Attorney General, pursuant to the Answer of 22 March 2023 to Question 163750 on Crown Prosecution Service: South West, what accounts for the difference between the figure provided in that answer for the total number of prosecutors employed by the Crown Prosecution Service as of 31 December 2022 (2,703) and the equivalent figure provided in the Answer of 13 February 2023 to Question 139145 (2,389).
They are not equivalent figures. As stated in answer to Question 163750, the grand total was 2,703. Whereas the table in answer to Question 139145 gave a breakdown and not a grand total. In addition to the 2,389 prosecutors in that table are Crown Advocates; Associate Prosecutors; and qualified and experienced prosecutors in corporate roles such as legal trainers. Further, as stated in answer to Question 163750, consequential changes to data input may mean that the data will change at some point in the future. |
