The Ministry of Justice is committed to achieving eight main objectives, as set out in its Single Departmental Plan 2019-2022:

  1. Ensure access to justice in a way that best meets people’s needs.
  2. Support a flourishing legal services sector.
  3. Provide a transparent and efficient court system.
  4. Ensure that prisons are decent, safe and productive places to live and work.
  5. Protect the public from harm caused by offenders.
  6. Reduce rates of reoffending and improve life chances for offenders.
  7. Provide excellent functional services.
  8. Support delivery of Brexit

It is a long-established precedent that information about the discussions that have taken place in Cabinet and its Committees, and how often they have met, is not normally shared publicly.
