Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government how many of the recommendations from the HM Chief Inspector of the Crown Prosecution Service and HM Inspector of Constabulary report Joint Inspection of the Investigation and Prosecution of Fatal Road Traffic Incidents, published in February 2015, have been taken up.

Six of the 15 recommendations in the Joint Inspection of the Investigation and Prosecution of Fatal Road Traffic Incidents report were addressed to the police or to the College of Policing and are therefore operational in nature. It is the responsibility of Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) to ensure individual Chief Constables act on HMICFRS’ findings.

Nine of the recommendations were addressed to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS), which falls under the remit of the Attorney General’s Office. The CPS carefully considers each and every recommendation made by the Inspectorate when it reports, implementing them as appropriate.
