The new Home Secretary has announced that police officers will take back some of the powers which had been taken over by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) to decide whether to charge someone with a criminal offence.
The new powers will apply to minor offences (so the police won't be able to decide whether to charge someone with, say murder - that will still be done by the CPS!) but with any luck it will mean a cut in bureaucracy and perhaps more importantly some of those cases which we all feel should never go to court will never see the inside of a courtroom!
