To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, when does he expect to receive the final report of the UK Law Commission's Criminal Appeals consultation.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, when does he expect to receive the final report of the UK Law Commission's Criminal Appeals consultation.
The Law Commission has indicated that it expects to publish its final report on criminal appeals in early 2027. It also intends to publish a separate report on compensation and support for the wrongly convicted by the end of 2026.
The Government will carefully consider the findings and recommendations of both reports once published.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, when the Government plans to respond to the Law Commission's review of disabled children's social care.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, when the Government plans to respond to the Law Commission's review of disabled children's social care.
The government is grateful to the Law Commission for its thorough work and agrees with its central finding that families can find disabled children’s social care confusing, variable and insufficiently joined up with wider services.
The Law Commission’s recommendations are closely linked to the government’s wider reforms to special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) and children’s social care. The government has therefore decided to delay its response for a short period to ensure it is aligned with the SEND reform consultation response and wider reform programme.
This will enable the government to provide a fuller, clearer and more coherent response, setting out how wider reforms will improve coordination across education, health and social care and support a simpler, more consistent and effective framework for disabled children’s social care. The government is committed to publishing its response to the Law Commission’s review of disabled children’s social care within this calendar year.

While we understand the calls for consolidation of electoral law, major reform would require careful consideration and an extensive amount of time. The Government’s immediate priority is the implementation of its manifesto commitments. A full-scale consolidation and simplification would require an in-depth review and modernisation alongside consolidation; to achieve this would be the job of more than one Parliament.

I refer the Hon Member to the answer provided on 1 July in response to Question 11944.
The Attorney General has the power to refer to the Court of Appeal sentences for certain offences which they believe to be "unduly lenient". This power to refer is sometimes called the 'unduly lenient sentence scheme'.

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what discussions her Department have had on the scope, conduct or progress of its review of the Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act with the Law Commission.
The government is keen to ensure that the law governing co-operatives and community benefit societies is clear and supports their growth. That is why we are funding the Law Commission’s independent review of the Co-operative and Community Benefit Societies Act 2014.
The Law Commission review is considering ways to update and modernise the legislation for co-operatives and community benefit societies - including charitable community benefit societies - ensuring that it fits the nature and needs of these societies as well as ensuring that regulation is proportionate and effective.
HM Treasury is the sponsoring department for the review and maintains an ongoing dialogue with the Law Commission on its progress, while respecting the Commission's independence.
The Law Commission expects to publish their report and a draft bill later in 2026. Once published, the government will then carefully consider its recommendations to understand whether reform of the legislation is needed to ensure these businesses are supported to grow and succeed into the future.
