Thousands of criminals in England and Wales are being let off paying money to help victims because a computer system cannot process many offenders' details.

He said a new multi-million pound Libra computer system currently being rolled out to magistrates' courts also cannot process the information needed for the surcharge.

"Everybody who works in the system has heard so many complaints about Libra. It's never done what it was supposed to do.

"It was supposed to make all the administration of the courts much simpler and quicker and run smoother, but it's too complicated."
