Question to the Attorney General:

To ask the Attorney General, what steps she is taking to support external stakeholders to contribute to the next annual review of disclosure.

In conducting any review, it is essential we involve operational partners and stakeholders affected by the changes.

The 2023 update to the Attorney General’s Guidelines has been focused on digital evidence and a working group was established with representatives including the Crown Prosecution Service, Serious Fraud Office, HM Revenue and Customs, National Crime Agency, police, Ministry of Justice, and Home Office. In addition, specific sessions were held with the legal defence community.
