§ Mr. Charles WardleMy right hon. Friend the Attorney-General and I have accepted the proposal of the recent study on administrative burdens on the police that a joint performance management mechanism should be established to monitor the performance of the police and the Crown Prosecution Service, so far as they are related. Discussions have recently taken place on how best to implement the proposal. The police and the Crown Prosecution Service will participate in this work.
