To ask the Solicitor-General if he will implement a pilot scheme to assess the merits of more formal plea bargaining. (106334)

The report of the Fraud Review that was published in July 2006 included a recommendation that there should be a formal system of plea bargaining in fraud cases. The report has been the subject of consultation, the results of which will be taken into account when the Government respond to all of the recommendations early in the new year.
