Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what assessment he has made of the take up of use of section 28 video evidence in rape trials in England and Wales.
This question was answered on 3rd November 2022
The latest Criminal Justice System Delivery Data Dashboard, which the Government publishes quarterly, shows that 57 witnesses gave evidence via s.28 in a case with at least one adult rape offence between January and March 2022.
We are working with partners to ensure the rollout of Section 28 is a success and will continue to monitor the rollout of Section 28.
