## Costs Involved In Prosecuting Andrew Johnstone

 Request I would like to know the costs involved in prosecuting Andrew Johnstone, who was acquitted following his trial at Westminster Magistrates Court on September 28. He had been accused of shoulder barging a colleague. Response The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) does not record time spent by internal lawyers, paralegals and administrative staff on a case by case basis. We can therefore only provide counsel costs, which amounted to £690. This figure includes VAT. Information Management Unit 020 3357 0899
