Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what representations he has received about non-compliance with the victims' code in the last two years.
We have committed to publish a victims strategy in early 2018. The strategy will consider how compliance with the entitlements in the Victims’ Code might be improved and better monitored, and how those responsible for delivery of entitlements might be better held to account.
We have had representations from victims’ groups on many issues and we are engaging widely with victims, victims’ groups and other stakeholders as we develop the strategy.
