It is standard practice not to comment on discussions between Ministers and the judiciary. The Lord Chief Justice and Senior President of Tribunals have statutory responsibilities for the welfare of the judiciary. They have set out the work they are leading in a joint message that was published on the judiciary website on 19 January.
