Further evidence that the Crown Prosecution Service wants to drop the \u201cCrown\u201d from its name: I have just received an invitation from the CPS and the Revenue and Customs Prosecutions Office (which the CPS will be taking over).This invites me to hear Keir Starmer give the \u201cPublic Prosecution Service Annual Lecture\u201d. <\/p>\n
A sign of things to come? Or merely stealth marketing?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t worry: any change would require primary legislation. The Prosecution of Offences Act 1985 says\u00a0<\/p>\n
\nThere shall be a prosecuting service for England and Wales (to be known as the \u201cCrown Prosecution Service\u201d) <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
