answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/04/2016 answer text <p>Her Majesty’s Courts and Tribunal Service (HMCTS) have responsibility for the enforcement of all domestic confiscation orders. The CPS assists in the enforcement process when it can add value, such as by managing restraint orders, seeking the appointment of enforcement receivers or by requesting mutual legal assistance from overseas jurisdictions in respect of assets located abroad. When the CPS can no longer provide additional value, the lead enforcement role reverts to the HMCTS and the CPS no longer monitors its progress.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The latest CPS data relates to February 2016.</p><p> </p><p>Over the last twelve months outstanding debt (excluding interest) has decreased by 18.4% from £505,598,593 to £412,652,493.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The CPS is leading in the enforcement of 1172 confiscation orders and the outstanding debt, excluding interest is £412,652,493 of which £157,210,118 or 38.1% has been assessed as being realistically recoverable.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Court determines the recoverable amount and an assessment of what is recoverable is carried out by the CPS on a monthly basis in respect of all cases. The majority of unrecoverable assets are hidden, whilst the remainders consist of assets where there are third party claims; the assets are held in jurisdictions where the authorities have taken the view that the defendant does not have the interest in the asset; or where the asset has simply diminished in value.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Kenilworth and Southam answering member printed Jeremy Wright question first answered 21/04/2016 17:12:15 answering member 1560 label Biography information for Sir Jeremy Wright

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/04/2016 answer text The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) does not maintain any centrally held data that would enable the identification of the nationality of any defendants, whether they are an EU national or not.
