Mr Colin Pickthall
PPS (Rt Hon Jack Straw, Secretary of State), Foreign & Commonwealth Office
To ask the Solicitor-General how many complaints were received by her Department about decisions of the Crown Prosecution Service in 2004.
Harriet Harman
Solicitor General (Law Officers), Member, Labour Party National Executive Committee
The Legal Secretariat to the Law Officers established a correspondence unit on 1November 2004 to handle the large amount of correspondence it receives.
It is not possible to ascertain with any degree of accuracy what proportion of the correspondence received relates to complaints about CPS decisions. Individual files would have to be checked for content which would incur disproportionate costs.
