Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what the timeframe is for the appointment of new Commissioners to the Criminal Cases Review Commission.
The Government believes that the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) is sufficiently funded for the valuable work that it undertakes.
We hope to announce - in the near future - the appointment of six new Commissioners who we expect to take up their appointments during May. These appointments will enable the Commission to continue its vital work in investigating possible miscarriages of justice.
