Registered Intermediaries

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what estimate his Department has made of the cost of increasing the number of registered intermediaries as set out in the Victims Strategy, published in September 2018, Cm. 9700.

Answer

The Ministry of Justice expects to spend up to £460,000 running the Witness Intermediary Scheme in 2018/19, which includes the cost of recruitment and training. The cost of individual cases is born by the end user (e.g. the police or CPS).
