Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Madeleine Moon (Labour). It was answered by Vera Baird (Labour) on Thursday, 11 March 2010 on behalf of the Solicitor General.


Rape Cases

Question
What recent discussions she has had with the Crown Prosecution Service on the prosecution of cases involving allegations of rape.
Answer

I have frequent discussions with the Director of Public Prosecutions about the prosecution of rape cases. He is at the start of a national programme of visits across the entire service, a primary focus of which will be discussing with front-line staff cases involving violence against women and rape. The notion now is that we know what good practice is, but it needs to be spread consistently across the country.
