Question to the Attorney General:
To ask the Solicitor General, what steps she is taking with the Crown Prosecution Service to help reduce the backlog of court cases.
This question was answered on 9th July 2026
This Government inherited a justice system in crisis, with a backlog of eighty thousand criminal cases in the Crown court.
That is why we are investing over two and a half billion pounds in our courts. This will fund unlimited sitting days, boost legal aid, and ultimately speed up justice for victims.
