38. Keith Vaz

To ask the Solicitor-General, when she next plans to meet the Director of Public Prosecutions to discuss communications with the victims of crime [82006]

The Solicitor-General

I meet with the Director of Public Prosecutions on a regular basis to discuss a wide range of issues including victims of crime.

The CPS has recently completed national implementation of the Direct Communication with Victims initiative which involves the lawyer explaining to the victim the decision to drop or alter a charge.
