Question to the Attorney General:
To ask the Attorney General, what plans he has for the distribution of the additional funding for the Crown Prosecution Service announced in August 2019.
The Spending Round settlement for CPS for 2020-21 included £80m of additional funding.
This additional funding will enable the CPS to:
Meet the increased demand pressures following the government’s investment in additional police resource
Deliver improved performance in meeting statutory disclosure obligations and
Fund any recommended changes arising from the current review of Bar fees
