.......There should be a statute preventing people being put "on hold" for months / years ... in fact an arrest should not even be made until they are ready for Court.
Limits could be put on the length of time a suspect is allowed to be held on bail in England and Wales, the home secretary has indicated.
Theresa May has asked the College of Policing to consider implementing a time limit.
This follows the cases of Paul Gambaccini, Jim Davidson and Freddie Starr - all were on bail for months before learning they faced no action.
Bail should not exceed 28 days, unless exceptional circumstances apply.
Mrs May wants to prevent people having to wait months or years before learning they will not be prosecuted, the BBC's home affairs correspondent Danny Shaw said.
