More than £350m of charges were imposed by UK courts in 2004-5, says the report from the Commons Public Accounts Committee published this week.
Part of the problem is a lack of sufficient management information, says committee chairman Edward Leigh. ‘The seemingly endless delays to Libra, the Department for Constitutional Affairs’ long-awaited system, mean the department does not have basic information,’ he said.
