I have made no formal appraisal, but Crown prosecution Service (CPS) guidance to prosecutors sets out the circumstances in which witness summonses can best be used in such cases. This guidance is published on the CPS website at: http://www.cps.gov.uk/legal/d_to_g/domestic_violence_aide-memoire/#a25<\/a><\/p>

Witness summonses can be effective in ensuring complainants attend court when they would not otherwise do so. They can also support victims who are concerned about how a voluntary decision to attend court might be perceived by \u2018removing' the pressure of making that decision for them. Where a victim attends as a result of a witness summons, there is often a guilty plea.<\/p>

However, it is also possible that a witness will still not attend, or may come to court but refuse to give evidence.<\/p>

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) maintains a central record of the number of suspects (not cases) referred to prosecutors for a pre-charge decision and the number of defendants prosecuted, following a decision to charge.<\/p>

The table below shows, in each of the last five years for which figures are available, the total number of charging decisions made against suspects and the outcome of decisions where the decision was to (a) take no further action, (b) caution, (c) conditionally caution or (d) recommend another out of court disposal. In addition, the table shows the number of defendants prosecuted at magistrates' courts and at the Crown Court, by the CPS following a decision to charge (e), the number convicted (f) and the number convicted after a contested hearing (g). The table does not include other outcomes related to pre-charge decisions.<\/p>

The CPS maintains records of the overall value of costs payments made but does not distinguish between the various types of costs order available. To ascertain the types and value of individual costs awards made over the last five years would require a review of each case and this would incur disproportionate cost.<\/p>

The CPS central financial records indicate that the department was required to pay £772,129.54 in costs awards in 2013-14. It should be noted that the accounts for 2013-14 are not finalised and this figure will be subject to audit and adjustment. Finalised figures will be available at the end of May 2014.<\/p>

The value of total costs payments made in 2013/14, £772K, represents about 0.13% of overall CPS expenditure.<\/p>

We do not collect information centrally on Apprenticeships by industrial sector at the Parliamentary Constituency level. Table 1 shows information from the 2012[1] UKCES Employer Perspectives Survey on the proportion of employers that offer formal Apprenticeships by industrial sector in the UK.<\/p>

Information on Apprenticeship starts by Sector Subject Area and geography is published in a Supplementary Table to a Statistical First Release (SFR):<\/p>

Sector Subject Areas are not the same as industrial sectors. Within an industrial sector a learner may undertake a wide range of Apprenticeship frameworks, and individual frameworks are assigned under the Sector Subject Area classification.<\/p>
