HC Deb 28 June 1995 vol 262 cc707-8W
Mr. Byers

To ask the Attorney-General, pursuant to his answer of 22 May,Official Report, column 451, how much each Treasury counsel retained for civil work received in fees from public funds in 1994–95; of the Treasury counsel based at the central criminal court, how many received between (i) £250,000 to £300.000, (ii) £300,000 to £350,000, (iii) £350,000 to £400,000, (iv) £400,000, to £500,000, (v) in excess of £500,000 from the Crown Prosecution Service for financial year 1994–95.

The Attorney-General

[pursuant to his reply, 21 June 1995, c. 260]: The figures given for fees paid to Treasury counsel based at the central criminal court by the Crown Prosecution Service are being checked and a revised table will be made available as soon as possible. However, contrary to the original information provided by the Crown Prosecution Service as set out in the table of 21 June, it is clear from information that has since been made available to me that no Treasury counsel based at the central criminal court received more than £400,000 in payments from the Crown Prosecution Service during the financial year 1994–95.
