Barristers who prosecute and defend in crown court trials in England and Wales say they could take action over pay.

Some 97% of more than 1,000 barristers asked by the Criminal Bar Association said they thought action such as refusing cases should be explored.
Hourly rates for the 95% of crown court trials which last up to 10 days have not changed since 1997.
