answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/04/2014 answer text <p>The Crown Prosecution Service recognises that more needs to be done to encourage victims of female genital mutilation (FGM) to come forward. The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has said that the introduction of anonymity for victims of FGM should be considered to encourage more victims to come forward as, given the very personal nature of the offence, very few do so. However, any change of law on anonymity is a matter for the Ministry of Justice.</p> answering member constituency North East Hertfordshire answering member printed Oliver Heald question first answered 01/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 69 label Biography information for Sir Oliver Heald

question text	To ask the Attorney General, what steps he is taking to ensure that victims of female genital mutilation whose cases go to trial have access to the full range of support and special measures that are available to victims of other sexual offences.
tabling member constituency	Islington South and Finsbury
tabling member printed	Emily Thornberry
uin	193653
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/04/2014 answer text <p>The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) recognises that appropriate support is vital to ensure that victims of female genital mutilation (FGM) are able to give their evidence effectively in court. The CPS legal guidance advises prosecutors that in all cases of FGM they must ensure that the complainant is aware of the special measures that can be applied for at court, and that applications are made in time. For all child witnesses there is a presumption that they will give their evidence in chief by recorded interview and any further evidence by live link unless the court is satisfied that this will not improve the quality of the child's evidence. Adult victims of FGM are also eligible for special measures on the grounds that they are likely to be intimidated witnesses in relation to testifying at court. However it is a matter for the court to grant the application.</p> answering member constituency North East Hertfordshire answering member printed Oliver Heald question first answered 01/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 69 label Biography information for Sir Oliver Heald

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/04/2014 answer text <p>The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) is committed to tackling cases of female genital mutilation (FGM), however it can only prosecute cases referred to it by the police which meet both of the tests outlined in the Code for Crown Prosecutors.</p><p>The Code sets out a two stage test which must be applied when deciding whether a case should be prosecuted. The first stage is the evidential test which requires prosecutors to be satisfied that there is sufficient evidence to provide a realistic prospect of conviction. If the evidential stage of the test is met prosecutors must then go on to identify the relevant public interest factors tending for and against the prosecution in order to form an overall assessment of whether a prosecution is in the public interest.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Wallace of Tankerness question first answered 02/04/2014 12:00:00 answering member 630 label Biography information for Lord Wallace of Tankerness
