Further, to ensure transparency, the CPS will also convene a national scrutiny panel examining the use of drill and rap music in prosecutions. This panel will include third-sector representatives, legal professionals and academic experts, who will review anonymised past cases involving the music, answer questions, gather feedback and help the CPS to refine its approach. I repeat my thanks and gratitude to my noble friend for her concern and efforts in relation to both these areas of evidential reform. I hope she will be content not to press her amendments.
