Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether, in the light of the allegations made regarding expert witnesses in the BBC Panorama programme Justice for Sale, broadcast on 9 June, they will review and publish a list of the occasions on which the expert witnesses identified in that programme gave evidence under oath in criminal trials since June 2010.

Her Majesty's Courts and Tribunals Service does not record which experts are called to give evidence in trials, and this information is therefore not available.
