Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, with reference to her Department's publication, Our Commitment to Victims, published in September 2014, what steps she has taken to ensure there are greater opportunities for vulnerable witnesses to give evidence at a location away from court.

This question was answered on 3rd November 2016
The Government is committed to supporting and protecting victims and witnesses when they give their evidence. Since last year, we have established over 20 video live-link sites in England and Wales for vulnerable and intimidated witnesses to give their evidence away from the court building should they choose to do so.
