Written question asked by Bishop of Gloucester (Bishops (affiliation)) on Tuesday, 29 November 2022, in the House of Lords. It was due for an answer on Tuesday, 13 December 2022. It was answered by Lord Bellamy (Conservative) on Tuesday, 13 December 2022 on behalf of the Ministry of Justice.
Criminal Proceedings: Royal Commissions
- Question
-
To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the remarks by Lord Bellamy on 28 November (HL Deb col 1561), what plans they have to announce (1) the timeframe, and (2) the terms of reference, for the Royal Commission on the criminal justice process, as announced in the Queen's Speech on 19 December 2019.
- Answer
-
Both the timeframe and terms of reference for the Royal Commission are under review. We continue to prioritise recovery in the criminal justice system and it is right to do so in light of the disruption caused by the Criminal Bar Association’s recent action. Our focus is on delivering our priorities over the coming months and overhauling the UK human rights framework through the Bill of Rights, which will safeguard the wider public interest, while restoring some common sense to our justice system.
