Question to the Attorney General:
To ask the Attorney General, how many times defendants were informed that they had been charged with (a) causing death by dangerous driving or (b) causing death by careless driving whilst over the prescribed limit and given a date and time to appear in court by a Postal Requisition letter from the Crown Prosecution Service in financial years (i) 2021/22 and (ii) 2022/23.
The Police issue all postal requisition letters following Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) advice to charge, and have sole responsibility for decisions on, and issue of, postal requisition letters. The CPS does not hold the relevant data.
