<p>The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) does hold records identifying the number of
defendants prosecuted, at the Crown Court, where the Principal Offence has been identified
as homicide. However, it does not maintain a separate central record of defendants
prosecuted specifically for murder or of cases where the issue of loss of control
has been raised as a live issue. This information could only be obtained by examining
CPS case files, which would incur a disproportionate cost.</p><p> </p>
