Crown Immunity: Scotland
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, if he will remove corporate crown immunity from the Scottish Prison Service.
- Answer
-
The Lord Chancellor has received a letter from the Scottish Government Cabinet Secretary for Justice and Home Affairs seeking to discuss a number of issues across the justice system and will respond in due course.
Crown Immunity within the Scottish Prison Service is a complex issue, and any change would interact with both devolved and reserved competencies. It is right therefore that the UK Government fully considers its next steps accordingly.
