Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, pursuant to the Answer of 25 November 2021 to Question 76700 on Remand in Custody, when the Government plans to reach a conclusion on its review of the use of the power in the Bail Act 1976 to remand an individual for their own protection.
Following a commitment from the Government earlier this year, MoJ is reviewing the use of the power in the Bail Act 1976 which allows a court to remand a defendant for their own protection. This work is ongoing, and we are on track to complete our review into uses of the power by the end of the year.
