HC Deb 22 February 1995 vol 255 c204W
Mr. Boateng

To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department, what was the total cost to the court system, excluding legal aid costs but including judicial costs, of prosecution for serious fraud in the most recent year for which figures are available.

Mr. John M. Taylor

The Department does not keep figures on the prosecution of serious fraud cases. The figures can be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
