Written Answers
Government Controlled Companies: Prosecutions Asked by: Lord Arbuthnot of Edrom (Conservative - Life peer) Thursday 27th March 2025 Question to the Ministry of Justice: To ask His Majesty's Government whether any entity owned or partially owned by the Government has acted as a prosecutor in its own interests in the past five years. Answered by Lord Ponsonby of Shulbrede - Lord in Waiting (HM Household) (Whip) Certain Government agencies (such as the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency and TV Licencing) are permitted under legislation to bring criminal prosecutions within specified remits. In addition, where the UK taxpayer is a shareholder or the only shareholder, a company may bring a private prosecution using common law powers preserved under section 6(1) of the Prosecution of Offences Act 1985. The Government does not collate or record data on individual prosecutors and private prosecutions, although some prosecutors may publish their own data separately. This Government considers that the public should be given more information about private prosecutors to improve confidence in the criminal justice system. This is why we have launched a public consultation on options to improve the oversight and regulation of private prosecutors in the criminal justice system, which closes on 8 May.
Horizon IT System: Criminal Investigation Asked by: Lord Arbuthnot of Edrom (Conservative - Life peer) Tuesday 8th April 2025 Question to the Home Office: To ask His Majesty's Government how many police officers are currently assigned to the Operation Olympos investigation into the Post Office Horizon case; what ranks they hold; whether they are full time or part time; and where they are based. Answered by Lord Hanson of Flint - Minister of State (Home Office) The Home Office does not hold the requested information. The resourcing of individual police investigations are operational matters for the force responsible.
Government Controlled Companies: Private Prosecutions Asked by: Lord Arbuthnot of Edrom (Conservative - Life peer) Monday 14th April 2025 Question to the Ministry of Justice: To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Ponsonby of Shulbrede on 27 March (HL5807), what are the names of the companies where the UK taxpayer is the only shareholder which brought a private prosecution using common law powers preserved under section 6(1) of the Prosecution of Offences Act 1985 in 2024. Answered by Lord Ponsonby of Shulbrede - Lord in Waiting (HM Household) (Whip) The Ministry of Justice does not collate or record data on individual private prosecutors, although some prosecutors may publish their own data separately. Therefore, it is not possible to provide data on the number of companies where the UK taxpayer is the only shareholder that have brought a private prosecution in 2024. This Government considers that it is important that more information about private prosecutors is available to improve confidence in the criminal justice system. This is why we have launched a public consultation on options to improve the oversight, regulation, and transparency of private prosecutors in the criminal justice system, which closes on 8 May. The consultation seeks respondents’ views on improvements to the available data on private prosecutors and the prosecutions they bring.
