Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) cases are not prosecuted exclusively by self-employed advocates or in-house advocates. Many cases are transferred between self-employed and in-house advocates and therefore it is not possible to report on the number or proportion of cases prosecuted solely by one type of advocate or the other.<\/p>

However, the CPS does record the proportion of work undertaken across the 13 CPS Areas in the Crown Court by self-employed advocates by value, in accordance with the graduated fee scheme (GFS). CPS records show:<\/p>

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has a comprehensive cost reduction strategy to 2015-16 that is fully aligned to, and supports, CPS priorities and objectives. The strategy will ensure that the department meets the SR2013 savings targets.<\/p>

In their annual report for 2013-14 the Inspectorate acknowledged that CPS had improved its performance on serious and complex cases and also highlighted CPS success in hate crime cases and those involving violence against women and girls. The report was largely based on cases completed more than a year ago and more recent data shows performance improvements across the board since then. For example, magistrates' courts are seeing more guilty pleas and fewer cases dropped while the Crown Courts are showing increasing conviction rates \u2013 now at 81% across England and Wales. The challenges mentioned in the report are being addressed but they should be seen in the context of an improving prosecution service across the country.<\/p>

<\/p>

The CPS is committed to the proper application of the disclosure provisions in the Criminal Procedure and Investigations Act 1996 and is already engaged in a range of activities that will improve performance in this area:<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

· A disclosure assurance regime is in place for Crown Court disclosure;<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

· The CPS contributed to the Kinch / Riddle review into disclosure in the magistrates\u2019 courts and is implementing the recommendations as part of the cross-CJS efforts to transform summary justice. This will mean more targeted and effective disclosure at first hearing in magistrates\u2019 courts; and<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

· CPS has addressed the recommendations of the Gross reviews and the HMCPSI review of disclosure in R v Mouncher to further improve performance.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

The CPS continues to look at how compliance with the disclosure regime can be improved and will actively consider further initiatives as necessary.<\/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" : "2014-09-01", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "previousAnswerVersion" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/76994/answer/previousversion/10484", "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1560", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Sir Jeremy Wright"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Kenilworth and Southam"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Jeremy Wright"} } , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2014-09-01T15:08:08.4920855Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "88"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Attorney General"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Attorney General"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2014-07-10", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Crown Prosecution Service"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Attorney General, what steps he plans to take in response to the finding of HM Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) Inspector in his Annual Report 2013-14, page 12, that there was a considerable decline in performance of the CPS in that year in relation to how it handled its disclosure obligations.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1536", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Emily Thornberry"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Islington South and Finsbury"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Emily Thornberry"} ], "uin" : "205209"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/76996", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Business, Innovation and Skills"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/76996/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Department complies with the Government's Transparency programme. As part of this all of the Department's contract opportunities with a value greater than £10,000 and all contracts subsequently awarded are published on Contracts Finder.<\/p>

The maintenance of central records of all contracts let by the Department commenced from August 2012. Therefore, I can provide information on the contracts let in the period August 2012 to date only.<\/p>

<\/p>

According to these records one contract has been let in the £1m to £3m range and two contracts have been let with a value in excess of £3m.<\/p>

I am not aware that any contracts are about to be let with a value above £1m.<\/p>

Records are not kept on the numbers of officials monitoring these contracts or the cost of so doing.<\/p>

I have approached the Chief Executives of the Department's Executive Agencies (Insolvency Service, Companies House, National Measurement Office, Intellectual Property Office, UK Space Agency, Ordnance Survey, Met Office, and the Land Registry) and they will respond to the Hon.

Combating cyber crime is a core part of the National Cyber Security Strategy,
which is underpinned by the National Cyber Security Programme (NCSP) and £860
million of investment over five years. The Government has so far committed £70
million of NCSP funding to build law enforcement capabilities to tackle cyber
crime. This includes the establishment of the National Cyber Crime Unit in the
National Crime Agency (NCA), and cyber teams within each of the Regional
Organised Crime Units across England and Wales. We are also developing the
capability and awareness of local police forces. The NCA has led efforts to
arrest and disrupt cyber criminals, including warning individuals who may have
access to malicious software that they are known to the agency and that any
movement into criminality will result in action. NCSP also funds the Action
Fraud, the national reporting service for fraud and financially motivated cyber
crime, and the National Fraud Intellligence Bureau. Both of these are run by
the City of London Police, the country\u2019s national lead force for fraud
investigations. My Rt. Hon. Friend, the Home Secretary, visited the City of
London Police earlier this month with the Member for Hove and Portslade in
order to see the good work that the force is doing.

In addition, the Government has introduced a new offence as part of the Serious
Crime Bill to capture cyber attacks which cause, or create a significant risk
of, serious damage. This will ensure that serious cyber attacks carry
sentences that reflect the impact they can have. Where cyber attacks result in
loss of life or serious damage to national security, the maximum sentence will
be life imprisonment. Where an attack results in serious economic or
environmental damage, the maximum sentence will be 14 years\u2019 imprisonment.

Furthermore, the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills has delivered a
range of measures to help protect businesses against cyber crime, including
producing best practice guidance, providing innovation vouchers to help
businesses boost their cyber defences, and delivering a campaign of
awareness-raising and behaviour change activities.<\/p>

There is no single data source that comprehensively measures all business start-ups within the UK. However, as a near proxy BankSearch collates data on the number of new business bank accounts opened in Great Britain. This can be used as an indicative measure of business start-up activity and is the most comprehensive source available to BIS. Data goes as far back as 2008 and does not include information on whether the business is trading or not.<\/p>

The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) is playing a key role in the Government\u2019s five-year, £860m National Cyber Security Programme and has delivered a range of measures to help protect all UK businesses from cyber crime attacks. The Government has regular discussions with the videogames industry, for example through the work of the Creative Industries Council. Companies can draw upon various forms of Government help and support, such as the range of good practice guidance and the £5,000 cyber security innovation vouchers aimed at small businesses and start-ups. BIS continues to work with Government and industry partners to raise awareness of cyber threats and encourage businesses to take action to protect themselves.<\/p>
