§ Mr. Ron DaviesTo ask the Attorney General if he will estimate the money his Department spent in Wales with respect to(a) the Crown Prosecution Service and (b) magistrates courts in the latest available year.
§ The Attorney-GeneralDuring 1993–94, the last full year of which figures are available, the Crown Prosecution Service in Wales spent a total of £14,652,000.
Expenditure on magistrates courts is the responsibility of my right hon. Friend the Lord Chancellor. I understand that for 1993–94, the last year for which data are available, the money spent on magistrates courts in Wales was £17.698 million. This figure includes both revenue and capital expenditure.
