Prosecutions: Standards
The question
To ask the Solicitor General, what internal oversight exists to ensure consistency of prosecutorial decisions.
Answered by Ellie Reeves
The Serious Fraud Office is an independent prosecuting authority. Its operational decisions, including whether to investigate or prosecute individuals, are the responsibility of the Director in accordance with the law. Where appropriate, the Law Officers will engage with the SFO at a strategic level to support effective delivery of its functions.
