Question to the Attorney General:
To ask the Attorney General, what recent discussions she has had with the Chancellor of the Exchequer on funding for the Crown Prosecution Service in the next Spending Review.
This question was answered on 27th March 2023
In the 2021 Spending Review, the CPS secured a significant funding increase enabling it to respond to growing pressures in the criminal justice system. This settlement saw a significant investment in CPS funding, increasing its budget from £630m a year to £728m by 2024/25. That settlement has been maintained by the Chancellor of the Exchequer. |
