To ask the Attorney General, pursuant to the answer of 7 July 2026, to Question HL1337, on Anti-Muslim Hostility, whether the Crown Prosecution Service has adopted the definition.
To ask the Attorney General, pursuant to the answer of 7 July 2026, to Question HL1337, on Anti-Muslim Hostility, whether the Crown Prosecution Service has adopted the definition.
Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) prosecutors make their decisions independently of the police, the government and other external parties. Their duty is to apply the criminal law of England & Wales as agreed by Parliament, to ensure the right person is prosecuted for the right offence and to bring offenders to justice wherever possible.
On 9 March 2026 the UK Government adopted its non-statutory definition of anti-Muslim hostility across all central government departments. The CPS is a non-ministerial department, and CPS employees are civil servants and subject to the same central rules and policies. They may have regard to the definition, alongside other sources of information, in understanding the experience of Muslim communities in this country.

The Government published its draft Conversion Practices Bill on 25 June for pre-legislative scrutiny.
The draft Bill sets robust thresholds to target clear instances of harmful and abusive acts.
The pre-legislative scrutiny process will test and strengthen our draft Bill ensuring it is effective in the long term. Once the draft legislation has completed pre-legislative scrutiny and the subsequent parliamentary passage, it would be at this point that the Government would produce any necessary guidance. We would engage with all relevant public sector bodies in developing any such guidance.
I would like to assure you, My officials and I engaged with a wide range of stakeholders from across relevant sectors, this includes the Crown Prosecution Service.

To ask the Solicitor General, pursuant to the Answer of 9 July 2026 to Question 16091, Sentencing: Young Offenders, whether the Crown Prosecution Service holds information on the sentences imposed following convictions for defendants in cases included in the Joint Enterprise National Monitoring Scheme 2024-25.
To ask the Solicitor General, pursuant to the Answer of 9 July 2026 to Question 16091, Sentencing: Young Offenders, whether the Crown Prosecution Service holds information on the sentences imposed following convictions for defendants in cases included in the Joint Enterprise National Monitoring Scheme 2024-25.
The CPS holds information on the sentences imposed following convictions in cases included in the Joint Enterprise National Monitoring Scheme 2024–25. However, the information requested could only be obtained through the manual inspection of individual case files and could therefore be provided only at disproportionate cost.

The total present value cost of implementing the new Victims’ Code is estimated to be £11.9 million over a 10-year appraisal period. This includes costs that the police and HMPPS will incur associated with increased interaction with victims. This estimate is based on the draft new Code which we recently consulted on and a full breakdown of the cost benefit analysis can be found in the impact assessment published alongside that consultation: https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/a-new-victims-code.
We are now taking the time to consider nearly 200 responses we received in response to the consultation. We will issue a public response ahead of finalising and then implementing the new Code.
To ask the Solicitor General, Pursuant to the answer of 8 June 2026, to Question 4139, on Government Departments: Cost Effectiveness, if she will publish the most recent quarterly efficiency report submitted to HM Treasury by HM Crown Prosecution Service Inspectorate as a non-ministerial department.
To ask the Solicitor General, Pursuant to the answer of 8 June 2026, to Question 4139, on Government Departments: Cost Effectiveness, if she will publish the most recent quarterly efficiency report submitted to HM Treasury by HM Crown Prosecution Service Inspectorate as a non-ministerial department.
HMT’s publication of the 2026-27 financial reporting manual makes clear that a select group of smaller departments and independent bodies – which includes the Law Officers Departments - are exempt from the requirement to report efficiencies to HM Treasury in line with the Government Efficiency Framework. There are therefore no efficiency reports from the HMCPSI to HM Treasury, but the Law Officer Departments are all working towards their commitment at Spending Review 2025 to deliver at least 5% savings and efficiencies over Phase 2 of the SR period.
To ask the Solicitor General, what steps she is taking to support the Crown Prosecution Service in tackling serious financial crime in the waste sector.
To ask the Solicitor General, what steps she is taking to support the Crown Prosecution Service in tackling serious financial crime in the waste sector.
The CPS considers every case referred to it by investigators and will prosecute where the evidential and public interest tests set out in the Code for Crown Prosecutors are met.
The Solicitor General supports the CPS in tackling serious financial crime across all sectors, including where offending occurs in the waste sector. This includes supporting cross-government economic crime reforms and investment in economic crime and asset recovery capability, helping the CPS and its law enforcement partners to prosecute offenders and recover criminal assets.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what the average sentence length was for those convicted aged 16 to 25 at the time of sentencing for cases included in the CPS Joint Enterprise National Monitoring Scheme 2024-25 by ethnicity and sex.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what the average sentence length was for those convicted aged 16 to 25 at the time of sentencing for cases included in the CPS Joint Enterprise National Monitoring Scheme 2024-25 by ethnicity and sex.
The Ministry of Justice publishes data on average sentence length for a variety of offences including murder and attempted murder in England and Wales. These data are available by ethnicity and sex in the Outcomes by Offences data tool, that can be downloaded from the Criminal Justice Statistics landing page here: Criminal Justice Statistics.
However, information on whether cases were included in the CPS Joint Enterprise National Monitoring Scheme is not held centrally in the Court Proceedings Database.

The publication of data by local authorities and the Crown Prosecution Service are matters for the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government and the Attorney General respectively.
The Home Office is focused on delivering the recommendations from Baroness Casey’s National Audit on Group-based Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse. This includes mandating more comprehensive collection of data by police forces, as well as working across government to ensure safeguarding agencies (including the police, local authorities, schools and health services) are using information and intelligence to disrupt and prosecute those committing these terrible crimes and ensure victims and survivors are protected.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, whether he has held discussions with the Crown Prosecution Service on the evidential and public interest thresholds applied when deciding whether to seek a second or subsequent retrial in cases involving alleged assaults on emergency worker Assaults.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, whether he has held discussions with the Crown Prosecution Service on the evidential and public interest thresholds applied when deciding whether to seek a second or subsequent retrial in cases involving alleged assaults on emergency worker Assaults.
Assaults on emergency workers are a serious matter. Prosecution decisions are for the independent Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) to consider, and it would be inappropriate for a Minister to discuss this with the CPS. The evidential and public interest tests (termed the ‘two-stage’ test) are set out in the Code for Crown Prosecutors, and consideration of how they are applied is a matter for the Director of Public Prosecutions. Where a jury has been unable to reach a verdict or has been discharged, the prosecution will apply the two-stage test set out in the Code when deciding whether or not to proceed to a retrial. Prosecutors are expected to be fair and objective when making decisions and should only proceed with a prosecution if the two-stage test has been met.

The government encourages the adoption of the definition across the public, private and third sectors, and them to consider how this definition applies in their contexts.
