I was however aware that the letter was to be sent. </p><p> I have said on more than one occasion that there is no justification for barristers failing to honour their professional obligations to the CPS because there is no dispute with the CPS about the level of prosecution fees. It was perfectly proper for the CPS to send this letter reminding barristers of these obligations.</p> answering member constituency Beaconsfield answering member printed Mr Dominic Grieve question first answered 26/03/2014 12:00:00 answering member 16 label Biography information for Mr Dominic Grieve

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/07/2023 answer text <p>This government is committed to protecting all communities and will not tolerate attempts to foster division or violence among them.</p><p>Lord Austin was asked to deliver an independent, in-depth analysis of both Leicester-specific issues and wider factors which may have contributed to or exacerbated the recent tensions. The Review will seek to understand the origins of the unrest and how we can reduce the chances of similar events in the future.</p><p>Lord Austin has a long history of working against racism, prejudice and extremism and in trying to bring people together and build stronger and more united communities. His appointment is as chair of a panel of independent reviewers, consisting of a mixture of experts with experience in community engagement, social cohesion and counter extremism. I am confident this work will result in a rigorous, impartial, data-based assessment of the issues, which places significant importance on representing all sides throughout.</p> answering member constituency North East Derbyshire answering member printed Lee Rowley grouped question UIN 192880 question first answered 13/07/2023 16:40:25 answering member 4652 label Biography information for Lee Rowley
