Crown Prosecution Service: USA
Thursday 14th September 2023

Asked by: Matt Warman (Conservative - Boston and Skegness)

Question to the Attorney General:

To ask the Attorney General, what information the Crown Prosecution Service holds on the (a) programme and (b) accompanying delegation for the visit by the Director of Public Prosecutions to Washington in November 2011.

Answered by Michael Tomlinson

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) does not hold the information on Director of Public Prosecution visits from 2011. Routine information, such as visit programmes and delegation lists, will have been disposed of in line with the published CPS Retention and Disposal policy and in compliance with the Freedom of Information Act, Data Protection Act, and other relevant laws.

The CPS regularly publishes information regarding expenses incurred by the DPP, including through foreign travel. Historic data of this nature (including from 2011) is available on an archived version of the CPS website held by the National Archives


Requests under the Freedom of Information Act (United States) have also been made to US authorities previously, and they hold some further information which has been disclosed.
