    Elfyn Llwyd – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Ministry of Justice

    The below Parliamentary question was asked by Elfyn Llwyd on 2014-05-01.

    To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what assessment he has made of the implications of an increase in the need for court reports arising from his Transforming Rehabilitation agenda on the workload of court staff.

    Jeremy Wright

    We do not anticipate that Transforming Rehabilitation will have a substantial impact on the number of pre-sentence reports written. The National Probation Service (NPS) will continue to offer same-day reports where possible and to work closely with the Courts to minimise adjournments.

    By expanding post-release supervision for those sentenced to under 12-months, this cohort of offenders will now benefit from rehabilitative activity who were previously excluded, but this will not impact on pre-sentence Court activity.

    The new Risk of Serious Recidivism (RSR) tool will be used to inform the allocation of cases to new Community Rehabilitation Companies (CRCs) or the NPS and complements the pre-sentence report process. The RSR is straightforward to use and will support the identification of the likelihood of an offender committing serious re-offending in the future. We will ensure that CRCs work closely with the NPS so that cases are brought before the courts speedily and effectively.

    Elfyn Llwyd – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Attorney General

    The below Parliamentary question was asked by Elfyn Llwyd on 2014-06-10.

    To ask the Attorney General, in respect of how many alleged offences under section (a) 2A and (b) 4A of the Protection from Harassment Act 1997 proceedings are active in magistrates’ and crown courts in England and Wales; and if he will make a statement.

    Oliver Heald

    The Crown Prosecution Service does not maintain a central record of the number of particular offences that are currently active in either magistrates’ or crown courts in England and Wales.

    The CPS case management system does however record the number of finalised cases which reached a first hearing in the magistrates’ court as follows:

    2012-2013

    2013-2014

    Protection from Harassment Act 1997 { 4A(1)(a)(b)(i) and (5) }

    Stalking involving fear of violence

    9

    65

    Protection from Harassment Act 1997 { 4A(1)(a)(b)(ii) and (5) }

    Stalking involving serious alarm / distress

    10

    149

    Protection from Harassment Act 1997 { 2A(1) and (4) }

    Stalking

    72

    529

    There is no indication of final outcome or if the offence charged was the offence at finalisation.
