The decision in any case as to whether to instruct counsel, who to instruct, and whether to waive privilege in respect of that advice, lies with the instructing Government Department. When a Government Department wishes to instruct a QC, other than First Treasury Counsel or Standing Counsel, it should submit a request for a nomination to the Attorney General\u2019s Office.

The costs of Sir David Calvert-Smith\u2019s independent review into the Serious Fraud Office\u2019s (SFO) handling of the Unaoil case (R. v Akle & Anor<\/em>), which was commissioned by the Attorney General, are still being finalised. The costs to date to the Attorney General\u2019s Office are £84,571.90. There are some costs outstanding, but it is anticipated these will not increase the overall cost of the review significantly. The total costs will be recovered from the SFO.<\/p>

<\/p>

The cost of Brian Altman QC\u2019s independent review of the collapse of R v. Woods & Marshall<\/em>, which was commissioned by the Director of the SFO, was £359,442.37. This was paid for by the SFO.<\/p>

The number of staff employed by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) during the periods specified is available in the table below. During this period the CPS has undertaken continuous improvement and modernisation programmes to improve efficiency and effectiveness. These included digitalisation, development of a national resourcing model, standard operating practices, resource efficiency measures, smarter/remote working practices, and establishment of remote teams. As a national service for England and Wales, the consequence of these measures is that we now have the ability to shift work to where capacity resides which is both much more efficient, and also fairer on the workforce.
