Question to the Scotland Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, if he will remove corporate crown immunity from the Scottish Prison Service.
This question was answered on 9th April 2025
The Lord Chancellor has received a letter from the Scottish Government Cabinet Secretary for Justice and Home Affairs seeking to discuss a number of issues across the justice system and will respond in due course.
Crown Immunity within the Scottish Prison Service is a complex issue, and any change would interact with both devolved and reserved competencies. It is right therefore that the UK Government fully considers its next steps accordingly.
