Mr. Heald: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what reports he has received from police forces about the effect of
requirements as to the disclosure of evidence upon the efficient use of police manpower; and if he will make a statement. [114363]
Mr. Charles Clarke: Fair disclosure to an accused of unused prosecution material is an inseparable part of a fair trial. The present
disclosure provisions in the Criminal Procedure and Investigations Act 1996 came into effect on 1 April 1997. As part of its general
responsibility to evaluate new legislation the Government have commissioned an independent research study to evaluate all aspects of
the working of the disclosure provisions. This will include an examination of the resource implications for the police as well as
prosecutors in carrying out their disclosure responsibilities. The research began at the end of January and will be completed by
early next year.
