Question to the Attorney General:

To ask the Solicitor General, what assessment she has made of the adequacy of the Crown Prosecution Service's communications with victims of crime.

I recognise that the way the CPS communicates with victims has not always met the high standard that victims have every right to expect.

I am determined to put this right.

The CPS Victim Transformation Programme is a step in the right direction, but it must go further to ensure it delivers a high-quality service for victims so that they receive timely, clear communication and straightforward explanations about what is happening in their case and why decisions have been made.
