To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, whether she has assessed the potential merits of establishing a Royal Commission on Youth on the challenges facing future generations.
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, whether she has assessed the potential merits of establishing a Royal Commission on Youth on the challenges facing future generations.
This government recognises the scale of the challenges facing young people and is fully committed to addressing them.
That is why we published the ‘Youth Matters: Your National Youth Strategy’ which sets out a 10-year plan to ensure every young person has somewhere to go, someone who cares for them and a community they feel part of. It is underpinned by extensive research and insights, including a national survey and The Big Ambition Analysis for the National Youth Strategy. We will hold yearly national hearings on the progress of the Strategy and publish an interim delivery report in 2027.
We recognise that some of the challenges impacting young people have a systemic nature and the government is conducting specific reviews and consultations on key cross-cutting challenges. This includes the independent Milburn review analysing drivers of youth inactivity, the consultation on children’s use of technology as well as the reforms to the SEND system.
Government can establish different types of review or investigation, including public inquiries, Committees of Privy Counsellors and Royal Commissions.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of establishing a royal commission on social care.
The Government is determined to tackle the challenges facing adult social care. We want everyone to live an independent, dignified life. That is why we will build consensus on the long-term reform needed to create a National Care Service. We will engage with a range of stakeholders, including cross-party and people with lived experience. We will set out more detail of our priorities for adult social care in due course.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what progress his Department has made on establishing a Royal Commission on the criminal justice process.
Although we recognise the opportunity that a Royal Commission could present to look at structural questions in the criminal justice system, we think it is right that, following the pandemic and the Criminal Bar Association’s disruptive action, we focus on delivering priority measures to speed up justice for victims and improve the justice system over the coming months.
We continue to keep issues in the wider criminal justice system under review.

We welcome the Housing Ombudsman’s spotlight report on attitudes, respect, and rights and we will consider its recommendations. We urge social landlords to do the same, and for them to reflect on how best to support vulnerable residents.
The Social Housing Regulation Act is bringing in a tough new regulatory regime to support this Government’s commitment to driving up standards in social housing and holding landlords accountable for providing residents with decent homes.
We are currently consulting on further changes that will improve social housing. These include Awaab’s Law, which will set strict time limits on fixing reported health hazards in social housing, and on Competence and Conduct standards, which will require senior managers and executives in organisations that provide social housing to have or be working towards a relevant qualification.

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they plan to establish a Royal Commission into the future of maternity services.
There are no current plans to commission a public inquiry into the future of maternity services. Recent independent reviews of maternity services in Shrewsbury and Telford and East Kent have highlighted the need for change and the action required. To bring together the recommendations from these reviews, NHS England has published a Three year delivery Plan for maternity and neonatal services, which sets out how the National Health Service will make maternity and neonatal care safer, more personalised, and more equitable for women, babies, and families. A copy of the plan is attached.
All our efforts are currently focused on implementing the recommendations and actions from recent maternity reviews without delay, many of which were aimed at improving all maternity services across England.

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.

Notwithstanding that answer, which I thank the Minister for, a little earlier the Justice Secretary referred to manifesto commitments, and I remind the House that the Conservatives made a manifesto commitment to establishing a royal commission on criminal justice, but that is looking like a pretty slim commitment. Prisons in particular are at the heart of our criminal justice system, and they are in crisis, plagued by violence, drugs, squalor and a shameful lack of meaningful rehabilitation activity. Does the Minister accept that the priority must be a full public inquiry with statutory powers to find out what has gone wrong?

The hon. Gentleman is of course right about the commitment, and I referred to it in my opening response. It is true that the coronavirus changed many things, including causing significant issues in the criminal justice system and in prisons. We have published the prisons White Paper, which sets out a strategy for further improvement in all aspects of the secure estate, and I am pleased to be able to report significant progress on matters such as employment, which we know is important to reducing reoffending, and accommodation, with a five percentage points reduction in the number of individuals leaving prison who are homeless or rough sleeping.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the potential merits of conducting another Royal Commission on Policing.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the potential merits of conducting another Royal Commission on Policing.
We recognise that crime is changing and that the future will present new challenges to policing. We are taking action to ensure that the police have the resources and tools they need to respond to the evolving profile of crime while also continuing to get the basics right and deliver safer streets for the public. This includes recruiting 20,000 additional police officers by March 2023 and increasing funding for policing by up to £1.1 billion this year, which includes over £350 million to provide police with the tools and skills they need to meet the technological challenges of the future.
A Royal Commission into policing would be a substantial undertaking that would distract policing from their core mission- cutting crime, making the safer streets the public deserve, and delivering justice and high-quality outcomes for victims.

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.

My Lords, as I said in answer to the noble Lord’s Question on 6 July last year, due to the pandemic, we slowed work to establish the royal commission. Significant new programmes of work were established to support recovery and build back a better system. In the last six months, we have undertaken several new programmes, and our focus is on delivering these priorities over the coming months.
