The records held by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) indicate the number of offences charged, in which a prosecution commenced at magistrates\u2019 courts, rather than identifying the number of defendants prosecuted. The Protection from Harassment Act 1997 created the offence of harassment and latterly, as amended by the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012, stalking.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

In each year since 2011-12 the number of offences charged by way of the stalking or harassment offences under the Act is as follows:<\/p>

There is no indication of the number of individual defendants prosecuted for these offences or the final outcome of the prosecution proceeding or if the charged offence was the substantive charge at the time of finalisation. It is often the case that an individual defendant is charged with more than one offence against the same victim.<\/p>

The CPS currently employs one member of staff whose salary is below the rate defined by the Living Wage Foundation. As a result of proposed changes to pay ranges, this employee will be paid a salary in excess of the living wage once the associated collective bargaining process has concluded. This will be backdated to 1 April 2014.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

No direct employees of the Treasury Solicitor\u2019s Office are paid less than the living wage. However, at 30 September 2014 The Treasury Solicitor\u2019s Office had eleven temporary workers in London receiving less than the living wage although this position will change after 12 weeks of engagement in line with the Agency Workers legislation. At that point, their salary will increase to a higher rate of pay comparable to the rate of a direct employee. All other temporary workers are paid more than the living wage.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

No direct employees or temporary workers employed by the remaining Law Officers' Departments are paid less than the living wage.<\/p>

A complete record on the pay arrangements for staff employed by companies contracted to provide services to the Law Officers' Departments is not held and could not be provided without incurring a disproportionate cost.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4106", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Robert Buckland"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "South Swindon"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Mr Robert Buckland"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2014-10-14", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2014-10-14T13:58:44.7561828Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "88"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Attorney General"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Attorney General"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2014-09-26", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Pay"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Attorney General, how many (a) direct employees, (b) outsourced workers and (c) workers in agencies which report to the Law Officers' Departments are paid less than the Living Wage as defined by the Living Wage Foundation.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/478", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Field of Birkenhead"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Birkenhead"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Mr Frank Field"} ], "uin" : "209462"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/92101", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Attorney General"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/92101/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Attorney General\u2019s Office and the HM Crown Prosecution Service do not have any internal targets for the release of material to the National Archives (TNA) beyond the normal annual transfer. Neither office has anyone working full time on the transfer of material to TNA.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

The Serious Fraud Office, which was formed in 1988, is currently undertaking an extensive review of all aspects of data and record retention and disposal, including transfer of material to the TNA under the 20 year rule. A number of staff are engaged in this work but it is not possible to separate staff resources involved in reviewing records for transfer from the overall staff resources involved in the review.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/em><\/p>

<\/p>

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has an internal target to transfer approximately 80 criminal case files per calendar year to the TNA. To date the CPS has transferred cases up to 1977.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

To meet the transitional timetable for moving from the 30 to 20 year rule, the CPS has outsourced the work required to prepare cases for permanent preservation for the years 1978 to 1984. 1978 cases will be ready for transfer to TNA by January, 2015. For 1979 to 1984 cases, applications for closure will be put before the next Lord Chancellor\u2019s Advisory Council meeting in February, 2015.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

The CPS has two full time case reviewers.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/em><\/p>

<\/p>

In 2013 the Treasury Solicitor\u2019s Department (TSol) transferred 10 records to The TNA under the 20 year rule. TSol will meet the targets set to transfer records to TNA this year. An outstanding backlog of 300 files identified prior to the introduction of the 20 year rule was also transferred to TNA during 2013.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

There are currently two staff in TSol engaged in reviewing records for that purpose.<\/p>

The following tables contain information on performance marking and any performance awards for officials in the Law Officers\u2019 Departments in the 2013-14 reporting year.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

All of the Law Officers\u2019 departments have a non-consolidated performance award pot funded according to HM Treasury guidance. The amount is set as part of departmental pay remits agreed by the Attorney General.<\/p>

The majority of employers identified as paying below the NMW pay arrears on receipt of a formal Notice of Underpayment. Where they do not do so, HMRC pursues recovery through the civil courts. For deliberate non-compliance or obstructive behavior HMRC operates a policy of selective and exemplary criminal investigation action to enhance their enforcement strategy. HMRC\u2018s approach to tackling underpayment of NMW through the civil courts is the best way to ensure that money is paid back to the person underpaid and provides the most effective resolution for tax-payers. Criminal investigations may not result in arrears being paid to workers and are therefore reserved for the most serious cases.<\/p>

Since April 2012, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has been responsible for prosecuting benefit fraud offences investigated by the DWP and Local Authorities. The CPS does not hold data for prosecutions of benefit fraud prior to April 2012.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

Furthermore the CPS does not keep records of prosecutions of benefit fraud by recipients of benefits resident in the London Borough of Havering.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

To produce this information would require reviewing individual case files which would incur disproportionate cost.<\/p>

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) complaints handling procedures were inspected by Her Majesty\u2019s Crown Prosecution Service Inspectorate in January 2013. Recommendations from that inspection have been implemented, which included incorporating independent oversight. An Independent Assessor of Complaints (IAC) was appointed in May 2013. The IAC\u2019s role includes acting as the guardian of the CPS Feedback and Complaints policy, and assessing the quality of complaints handling. The IAC reports his findings annually to the CPS Board.<\/p>
