Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what assessment he has made of the potential effect on justice of the resignation of the Victims Commissioner for England and Wales; and if he will make a statement.
A recruitment campaign to appoint the next Commissioner is already underway and applications for the position closed on Monday 10 October. The Secretary of State for Justice will set out next steps in due course, but we are committed to ensuring that the voices of victims and witnesses continue to be heard while an appointment is made.
