- Question
-
To ask the Solicitor General, what steps she is taking with the Crown Prosecution Service to help reduce the backlog of court cases.
- Answer
-
This Government inherited a justice system in crisis, with a backlog of eighty thousand criminal cases in the Crown court.
That is why we are investing over two and a half billion pounds in our courts. This will fund unlimited sitting days, boost legal aid, and ultimately speed up justice for victims.
