§ 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.
