Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, pursuant to the Answer of 12 February 2018, to Question 126333, on Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012, whether her Department plans to publish the list of organisations and experts it plans to invite to submit evidence to the post-implementation review of the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012 once that list has been determined.

Answer

The Lord Chancellor has confirmed that we shall conduct an evidence-based review of Part 1 of the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012 (LASPO), assessing the changes against their objectives.

It is right that we take time to gather evidence, and we shall be engaging with experts and interested parties. I am currently considering the best way to proceed and will announce more details in due course.
