Mr. Gareth Thomas: To ask the Solicitor-General when victim impact statements will be permitted; and what plans he has for assisting
victims in providing such statements. [142370]
Mr. Blizzard: To ask the Solicitor-General when victim impact statements will be permitted; and what plans he has for assisting
victims in providing such statements. [142374]
The Solicitor-General: The Home Secretary earlier this year announced his plans to introduce during 2001 victim personal statements
(previously referred to as victim impact statements or simply victim statements). The new name was adopted to make it clear that
these statements will not deal solely with the effects of the crime upon the victim. This remains their principal purpose, but
personal statements will also enable victims to say what they feel about many other issues important to them. They may, for example,
wish to voice their fears about intimidation and their concerns about bail; say whether they wish to seek compensation; whether they
would like information on the progress of the case; whether they would welcome help from the support agencies; and so forth.
Criminal justice agencies are working with the police and Victim Support to produce guidance on how the new scheme will operate. The
guidance will include an explanatory leaflet for victims, notes for practitioners and a booklet for police officers giving advice on
the scope and purpose of the scheme.

Angela Smith: To ask the Solicitor-General (1) what recent advice he has given to the Crown Prosecution Service regarding notifying
prosecution witnesses that it has decided not to proceed with a case; [142950]
(2) what plans he has to issue guidance to the Crown Prosecution Service regarding information made available to (a) witnesses and
(b) victims regarding the progress of a case. [142951]
The Solicitor-General: The 1996 Victim's Charter commits the police to keeping victims informed of significant developments in the
case, including any decision to drop or alter charges substantially.
Sir Iain Glidewell's recommendations resulting from the independent review of the CPS, and the recommendations of Sir William
Macpherson's report into the death of Stephen Lawrence, proposed that the CPS should take responsibility for communicating such
decisions direct to victims rather than via the police.
In order to give effect to these recommendations a study is currently taking place to identify the best practice for national
implementation. This will begin on a phased basis in April 2001.
The CPS will give the reason for the decisions taken in as much detail as possible taking account of the fact that in some cases
there may be sensitive and important matters which cannot properly be disclosed.
The day to day responsibility for keeping victims and witnesses informed of the progress of the case remains a matter for the police
but the CPS will be responsible for the direct communication project, and liaison with witnesses at court.

Mr. Hesford: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will make a statement about Government programmes for the
support of victims in Northern Ireland. [142810]
Mr. Ingram: The Government have put in place a number of programmes of support in line with the recommendations in Sir Kenneth
Bloomfield's report "We Will Remember Them", which considered ways of recognising and acknowledging the suffering of those who have
become victims of events in Northern Ireland during the last 30 years. To date over £6.25 million has been allocated to programmes
and further significant funding will be made available from April 2001, which in total will represent a substantial package aimed at
alleviating the financial hardships and suffering inflicted on many by violence during the Troubles.
Initiatives that have been put in place include: The establishment of a Family Trauma Centre for young people, and their families,
affected by the Troubles. The Centre provides a comprehensive therapeutic service to families experiencing trauma and aims to meet
the psychological needs of families and individuals who have been affected by the Troubles; A £225,000 Victim Support Grant Scheme
for groups and organisations with proposals to take forward recommendations in the Bloomfield Report. This fund was administered by
the Community Relations Council and closed on 31 March 2000; The establishment of the Northern Ireland Memorial Fund, which is an
independent charitable fund that provides assistance to victims and their families through practical means. The fund which is
chaired by Professor George Bain, Vice Chancellor of the Queen's University of Belfast, has received £2 million from the Government.
To date it has launched three schemes--a Small Grants Scheme, a Respite Break Pilot Scheme and a Chronic Pain Management Scheme; An
educational Bursary Pilot Scheme for individuals whose education was directly affected by the Troubles. Over 500 applications were
received with 352 individuals who met the criteria being offered bursaries totalling just over £300,000; The independent review of
Criminal Injuries Compensation for Northern Ireland. The Government accepted the majority of the recommendations made by the review
team and in addition, but outside the remit of the new compensation theme, will make a significant amount of funding available from
April 2001 for the implementation of the Bloomfield Report "We Will Remember Them", and payments of up to £10,000 for the families
of the disappeared; The establishment of the Core Funding for Victims/Survivors Groups Grant Scheme providing £3 million for core
funding to victims groups for an initial period of two years from 2000-01. This fund is administered by the Northern Ireland
Voluntary Trust and to date over £2.1 million has been allocated to groups; A capacity building programme for those working with
victims of the Troubles has also been developed. The programme will help to train those who work with victims so that they are able
to deal effectively with the issues which arise for victims and victims groups. The programme is co-sponsored by the Victims Liaison
Unit, the Northern Ireland Voluntary Trust and the Community Relations Council. Research. The Government have supported research
including financial support of up to £40,000 to the Community Conflict Impact on Children Project.

Mr. John Smith: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what steps he is taking to provide further support to the
victims of crime. [137462]
Mr. Straw: From next April, the annual Home Office grant to Victim Support will rise from £18.3 million to £19 million. This
represents an increase of more than 50 per cent. since we assumed office in May 1997. The enhanced grant has enabled Victim Support
to improve their existing services and to introduce new ones, including witness services in all magistrates courts.

Fiona Mactaggart: To ask the Solicitor-General what guidance he gives to the Crown Prosecution Service on consultation with victims
on decisions about whether to prosecute. [137168]
The Solicitor-General: The Code for Crown Prosecutors was reissued last month. It sets out among other things the relationship
between the CPS, victims and the public interest. The Code explains that the CPS prosecutes on behalf of the public at large and not
just in the interests of any one individual.
The Code at paragraphs 6.7 and 6.8 makes it clear that Crown Prosecutors should always take into account the consequences for the
victim of the decision whether or not to prosecute, and any views expressed by the victim or the victim's family as that is part of
the public interest.
Prosecutors should already carry this out in appropriate cases, but additional guidance is being considered to improve this process.

Mr. Bercow: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what assessment he has made of the effectiveness of sentencing
policy towards persons convicted of offences of domestic violence. [137879]
Mr. Boateng: Statistics held centrally do not distinguish the relationship between an offender and the victim of the crime. It is
therefore not possible to tell from those data what sentences offenders who commit domestic violence offences receive or what effect
those sentences have. Projects under the Crime Reduction Programme's violence against women initiative, and earlier research, looks
at different aspects of domestic violence, including criminal remedies. This work focuses on effective interventions rather than
individual sentences. Relevant information is on the Home Office's domestic violence website:
www.homeoffice.gov.uk/domesticviolence/index.htm. The probation service Pathfinder initiative is currently looking at perpetrator
programmes run by the service for those put under its supervision, to see what works for wider adoption.

Dr. Julian Lewis: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what proportions of victims of racially- motivated crimes in
each of the past three years have been (a) black, (b) Asian and (c) white. [135001]
Mr. Charles Clarke: The information requested is not available.
Information on racist incidents is collected annually from all police force areas by HMIC. However, the ethnicity of the victim is
not collected.
The British Crime Survey collects information about racially motivated crimes and the ethnicity of victims. The last available
figures are for the year 1995. The survey estimates that there were in total about 382,000 racially motivated crimes in 1995.
238,000 of these incidents were against white people (62 per cent. of the total); 42,000 against black people (11 per cent); 41,000
against Indians (11 per cent) and 60,000 against Pakistanis or Bangladeshis (16 per cent).
