	question text	To ask the Attorney General, what assessment he has made of the effectiveness of the use of hearsay evidence in court proceedings in reducing the number of unsuccessful cases due to victim or witness issues; and what estimate he has made of the number of cases where hearsay evidence has been used by prosecutors in each year since 2010-11.

	uin	16836
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/11/2015 answer text Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) prosecutors will apply to admit hearsay evidence where they consider it appropriate to do so and the legislation permits. However, the CPS does not record information on the number of cases where hearsay evidence has been used in the course of criminal proceedings. It follows, therefore, that no assessment of the effectiveness of the use of hearsay evidence in court proceedings in reducing the number of unsuccessful cases due to victim or witness issues is routinely conducted. answering member constituency South Swindon answering member printed Robert Buckland question first answered 23/11/2015 09:36:38 answering member 4106 label Biography information for Sir Robert Buckland

If appropriate, relevant matters will be considered for criminal investigation in line with SFO internal procedures. The SFO does not comment on its assessments or their status at any one time but does publish on its website details of those cases formally adopted for criminal investigation, when this is possible without prejudice to the investigation. answering member constituency Kenilworth and Southam answering member printed Jeremy Wright question first answered 30/10/2015 14:51:18 answering member 1560 label Biography information for Sir Jeremy Wright
