Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, with reference to the oral contribution of the Attorney General of 16 January 2020, Official Report, columns 1143-1144, what plans he has for a review into the judicial review process; who will lead that review; what his timetable is for that review; whether that review will be conducted as part of the Constitution, Democracy and Human Rights Commission; and how he plans to consult (a) Members and (b) the public.

As set out in our manifesto, the Government will ensure that judicial review is available to protect the rights of the individuals against an overbearing state, while ensuring that it is not abused to conduct politics by another means or to create needless delays.

Discussions on how to meet this commitment are continuing within Government and further details will be announced in due course.
