The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) does not maintain centrally held data on the number of cases delayed as a result of CPS files not being handed over to the defence in time before the start of proceedings. Such information could only be obtained through a manual search of records which would incur disproportionate cost.<\/p>

The CPS is however committed to reducing unnecessary delays in the magistrates\u2019 court, together with other CJS partners, through the Transforming Summary Justice initiative (TSJ). One of the principles of TSJ is to implement a more effective disclosure process to ensure the streamlining of disclosure to defence practitioners for first hearings.<\/p>

The Better Case Management process (BCM) and the CPS Crown Court Strategy, which interlink with TSJ, also ensure that in cases destined for the Crown Court there is greater focus on Crown Court file build at the very outset to provide sufficient evidential material for the first hearing.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4106", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Robert Buckland"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "South Swindon"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Robert Buckland"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2016-04-25", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2016-04-25T14:44:32.497Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "88"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Attorney General"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Attorney General"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2016-04-19", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Administration of Justice"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Attorney General, what proportion of cases in each year since 2010 is delayed as a result of CPS files not being handed over to the defence in time before the start of proceedings.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4030", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Karl Turner"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Kingston upon Hull East"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Karl Turner"} ], "uin" : "34591"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/513933", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Attorney General"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/513933/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The process of reaching Deferred Prosecution Agreements (DPAs) happens in stages. Initial negotiations are confidential to encourage openness on the part of the company.

Her Majesty\u2019s Courts and Tribunal Service (HMCTS) have responsibility for the enforcement of all domestic confiscation orders. The CPS assists in the enforcement process when it can add value, such as by managing restraint orders, seeking the appointment of enforcement receivers or by requesting mutual legal assistance from overseas jurisdictions in respect of assets located abroad. When the CPS can no longer provide additional value, the lead enforcement role reverts to the HMCTS and the CPS no longer monitors its progress.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

The latest CPS data relates to February 2016.<\/p>

<\/p>

Over the last twelve months outstanding debt (excluding interest) has decreased by 18.4% from £505,598,593 to £412,652,493.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

The CPS is leading in the enforcement of 1172 confiscation orders and the outstanding debt, excluding interest is £412,652,493 of which £157,210,118 or 38.1% has been assessed as being realistically recoverable.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

The Court determines the recoverable amount and an assessment of what is recoverable is carried out by the CPS on a monthly basis in respect of all cases. The majority of unrecoverable assets are hidden, whilst the remainders consist of assets where there are third party claims; the assets are held in jurisdictions where the authorities have taken the view that the defendant does not have the interest in the asset; or where the asset has simply diminished in value.<\/p>

The Serious Fraud Office (SFO) is an intelligence led agency and follows the National Intelligence Model (NIM) when sharing information with law enforcement partners.<\/p>

Every report made to the SFO is assessed by a member of its Intelligence Unit in conjunction with other information available. The SFO passes information on to others when it has appropriate intelligence to share. This could be information from a single report, or a collated intelligence package.<\/p>

The vast majority of reports made to the SFO are not matters which it can investigate, and are more appropriate for the police or other agencies. Action Fraud is the UK's national fraud reporting centre. Individuals are asked to report matters directly to them so that Action Fraud can make best use of their information. They will also be given a crime report number for future reference.<\/p>

The table below shows the minimum number of intelligence referrals made by the SFO to other agencies which are directly referable to reports made through the dedicated reporting channel(1) since these statistics have been recorded. It also shows the number of SFO investigations opened since 2012 where the initial report to the SFO came through its online reporting system.<\/p>

Action Fraud is the UK's national fraud reporting centre. Individuals are asked to report matters directly to them so that Action Fraud can make best use of their information. They will also be given a crime report number for future reference.<\/p>

The table below shows the minimum number of intelligence referrals made by the SFO to other agencies which are directly referable to reports made through the dedicated reporting channel(1) since these statistics have been recorded. It also shows the number of SFO investigations opened since 2012 where the initial report to the SFO came through its online reporting system.<\/p>

1. The SFO does not record statistical information about all types of referrals that it makes to other agencies that are directly referable to reports made through the dedicated reporting channel, so the total number may be higher.<\/p>
