# The Criminal Legal Aid (Remuneration) (Amendment) (No. 4) Regulations 2023, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Criminal Legal Aid (Remuneration) Regulations 2013 (S.I. 2013/435).
Regulation 2(2) amends the fee payable in a case where a special measures direction provides for a video recording to be admitted under section 28 (video recorded cross-examination or re-examination) of the Youth Justice and Criminal Evidence Act 1999 (c. 23) (the “1999 Act”). It amends the fee in respect of all cross-examination, including re-examination, which is recorded by means of video recording and where such a recording is admissible by virtue of a special measures direction, from £670 per case to £1000 per case. For this purpose, “special measures direction” has the meaning given in section 33(1)(interpretation etc.) of the 1999 Act.
Regulation 2(3) amends the fixed fee for police station attendance in the Llanelli Scheme in the Criminal Justice System Area of Dyfed Powys from £159.51 to £204.63 and the escape fee threshold for that work from £490.29 to £656.42.
Regulation 3 makes provision about the application of the amendments.
A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on the private, voluntary or public sector is foreseen.
