Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Morris of Aberavon (Labour). It was answered on Tuesday, 29 November 2022.
Rape: Prosecutions and Support
- Question
-
My Lords, an accusation of rape is a very serious matter for both the victim and the accused. I have repeatedly asked for a breakdown of figures for rape cases where the defence is consent and where there is a failure to convict—a situation of which I have long experience. Will the Minister go back to the Attorney-General, who supervises the CPS, to ask why these figures cannot be provided? This may be the heart of the problem.
- Answer
-
I will certainly do my best to accommodate the noble and learned Lord.
