How many letter rogatories have been sent to EU member states police forces by the Met since the beginning of January? How many have been accepted and how long do you expect these requests to take on average, moving forwards?

Requests for European Investigation Orders and Letter rogatories are made by investigating officers and passed to the CPS who formally draft the documents. They are then sent to the prosecuting authorities in the relevant countries. The results are, in turn, relayed back to the CPS. As such, the MPS do not hold a central record of these outgoing requests.

This information is held by the CPS.
