Criminal Proceedings: Royal Commissions
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, whether he has plans to establish a Royal Commission on the criminal justice process.
- Answer
-
The pandemic has meant significant new programmes of work have been established in the criminal justice system to support recovery and build back better.
In the last few months alone, we have published a Victims consultation, a Prisons White Paper, the first national and local criminal justice scorecards and started a consultation on a Bill of Rights. We have also announced the most ambitious reform of criminal legal aid in decades, with the total level of investment being the highest in a decade. Our focus is on delivering these priorities over the coming months.
We continue to keep issues in the wider criminal justice system under review.
