Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what discussions he has had and with whom in response to the recommendations of the A Voice for the Voiceless: The Victims’ Commissioner’s Review into the Provision of Registered Intermediaries for Children and Vulnerable Victims and Witnesses, published in January 2018; and if he will make a statement.

I would like to thank Baroness Newlove for her thorough review into the provision of Registered Intermediaries who provide an invaluable service, allowing those that may otherwise not be heard to fully participate in the criminal justice system. I understand that Baroness Newlove has been invited to meet with Minister Lucy Frazer to discuss the report in full.
