The figures on page 4 of the consultation document are not reliable. They say that there were no applications for a rehearing during 2016. The SDT's records will show that there was at least one such application: Alan Blacker's application for a rehearing, which was heard on 6 September 2016 (11428-2015).

I cannot find anything in the consultation which tells us the current conviction rate. On the assumption that it is 90% or greater, why is there any need to lower the standard of proof?
