The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) retains records on recruitment vacancies from 1 June 2014. From 1 June 2014, 100% of vacancies remained vacant for a period in excess of five working days.<\/p>
The rest of the Law Officers\u2019 Departments do not hold information about the number of positions that have been vacant for a week or longer. Such a situation arises frequently, for example, when an individual moves post and there is a gap of a week or more before his or her successor takes up post.<\/p>
