asked Her Majesty's Government:How many of the 75 recommendations contained in the Review of the Crown Prosecution Service 1998 (Cm 3960) have been accepted in principle and how many have been implemented; and for what reasons any of the recommendations have either been rejected or remain unimplemented. [HL2998]

The Attorney-General announced on 28 June 1999 that 64 recommendations have now been accepted, accepted in part or in principle or implemented. Two recommendations have been rejected though the concerns that prompted the recommendations are being addressed in other ways. The Attorney-General will write to the noble Lord with details of these recommendations and the work that is continuing on the implementation of the recommendations which have been accepted.
