answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/04/2019 answer text <p>The CPS is determined to bring those responsible for Female Genital Mutilation to justice, and recently obtained the first conviction for such a case, in London. CPS prosecutors work closely with the police from the outset of these cases to address the challenges they raise, including legal questions concerning jurisdiction and expert evidence, and have assigned FGM leads for every CPS Area. Whilst prosecution alone will not end this appalling crime, this first conviction sends out a strong message that FGM is child abuse and that the perpetrators will be brought to justice.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency South Swindon answering member printed Robert Buckland question first answered 09/04/2019 13:19:28 answering member 4106 label Biography information for Sir Robert Buckland

question text	To ask the Attorney General, what steps the CPS is taking to increase the rate of prosecution of people who are responsible for forced marriages.

uin	239336
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/04/2019 answer text <p>The CPS takes the prosecution of forced marriage allegations very seriously. Each CPS Area has an identified prosecutor to lead on or deal with these cases. The CPS keeps its legal guidance under review to assist prosecutors to meet these challenges. This will shortly be revised to address cases where the victim lacks capacity to consent to marriage because of a condition affecting their mental functioning. At a national level there exists a joint police and CPS forced marriage working group, which has developed a protocol for investigations and prosecutions as well as training for prosecutors.</p> answering member constituency South Swindon answering member printed Robert Buckland question first answered 10/04/2019 11:48:03 answering member 4106 label Biography information for Sir Robert Buckland
