<p>The Government is investing across the justice system and has invested £85m in
the CPS up to 2021. This will enable the CPS to respond effectively to the expected
increase in caseload resulting from the recruitment of 20,000 new police officers;
to better meet its disclosure obligations; to work with investigators to pursue all
reasonable lines of inquiry; and to deliver much needed changes to external counsel
fees. Investing in the CPS, to support it to respond to these pressures, demonstrates
this Government’s commitment to ensuring that justice is served.</p>
