Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government how many cases have been referred to the Public Prosecution Service in Northern Ireland without further action being taken after one year.

The Northern Ireland Office does not hold the information requested. Since the devolution of policing and justice in 2010, the Public Prosecution Service in Northern Ireland has been designated as a non-ministerial government department and is operationally independent of the Government and the NI Executive. The Director of Public Prosecutions can be contacted by email at info@ppsni.gov.uk, or by writing to:

Public Prosecution Service, Belfast Chambers, 93 Chichester Street, Belfast, BT1 3JR.
