Still no response to police station fees consultation, when pressed, this is the MOJ/LAA response:

"We received a large volume of consultation responses, which we have been analysing since the consultation closed in July. We are now working to publish the Government response to the consultation as soon as possible within this calendar year.

The LAA cyber-attack and the recent change of Lord Chancellor have been complicating factors, but we remain committed to getting the additional funding into the system as quickly as possible."
