<p>The table below shows, for the CPS in London, the average number of calendar days
which have elapsed since the first decision was sought by the police to the date in
which the last decision made was to charge. The records held by the Crown Prosecution
Service (CPS) do not identify the number of cases referred to it for advice, by the
alleged offence(s).</p><table><tbody><tr><td> </td><td><p><strong>Average Time to
a Decision to Charge</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2008 - 2010</strong></p></td><td><p>6.7</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>2011
- 2013</strong></p></td><td><p>6.2</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>The CPS
in London deals with cases referred to it by both the Metropolitan Police Force and
the City of London Police Force and it is not possible to further break down the figures
provided without incurring a disproportionate cost.</p><p> </p>
