answer text <p>This Government does not believe that any changes to the law on joint enterprise are currently needed, but will keep the matter under review. It is for the courts to interpret and apply the common law in this area, and in particular, the change to the law on parasitic accessory liability made by the Supreme Court in <em>R v Jogee</em>. This Government, like the previous one, is satisfied that the Supreme Court has made the necessary correction to the law and believes this goes a long way in responding to concerns expressed earlier by members of the Justice Committee.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, the Crown Prosecution Service has consulted on revised guidance for use by prosecutors on secondary liability and aims to publish the final version in the early part of this year. This guidance will take account of the Lammy Recommendation that the CPS, while reworking its guidance on joint enterprise, should consider its approach to gang prosecutions in general. The CPS has already revised its internal resources on gangs in light of the recommendations resulting from the Lammy Review.</p>
