	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/04/2019 answer text <p>The CPS, as with all government departments, has seen a reduction in funding since 2010. Whilst it has been a challenge, it is very important to recognise that the CPS has managed to maintain its performance. It is testament to the professionalism and commitment of the staff that has enabled this, reforming all aspects of how the organisation is managed to find efficiencies wherever possible. The CPS is now amongst the most digital prosecution services in the world.</p><p> </p><p>The CPS has a budget to enable its resourcing; the Law Officers will continue to work with them and HMT to ensure that this is the case and that their needs are reflected in any future Spending Review.</p> answering member constituency South Swindon answering member printed Robert Buckland question first answered 25/04/2019 09:57:26 answering member 4106 label Biography information for Sir Robert Buckland
