Written Answers
Law Reporting Asked by: Daniel Francis (Labour - Bexleyheath and Crayford) Tuesday 8th July 2025 Question to the Ministry of Justice: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what assessment she has made of the potential merits of making (a) court transcription services (i) cheaper and (ii) more accessible for the families of victims and (b) court recordings directly available to those families. Answered by Sarah Sackman - Minister of State (Ministry of Justice) Bereaved families of victims of murder, manslaughter, and fatal road offences can request a free transcript of the judge’s sentencing remarks. Following the conclusion of a one-year pilot, on 22 May the Lord Chancellor announced that we are continuing the provision of free transcripts of sentencing remarks for victims of rape and other sexual offences on an ongoing basis. More widely, we are actively considering how to make court transcripts more accessible, and we continue to explore the potential for using AI to produce transcripts more quickly and at a lower cost. HM Courts & Tribunals Service (HMCTS) does does not currently have the technical capability to share audio files. Addressing this or expanding the provision of free transcripts would have operational and resource implications for HMCTS and the judiciary at a time when the system is under considerable pressure.
Law Reporting Asked by: Daniel Francis (Labour - Bexleyheath and Crayford) Tuesday 8th July 2025 Question to the Ministry of Justice: To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, whether recordings of court proceedings from October 2023 onwards are available for transcription for a period of one year. Answered by Sarah Sackman - Minister of State (Ministry of Justice) Crown Court transcripts are available for a minimum of one year dependent upon the nature of the disposal.
Chlorine Dioxide: Autism Asked by: Daniel Francis (Labour - Bexleyheath and Crayford) Wednesday 9th July 2025 Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology: To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of online misinformation in the use of chlorine dioxide in treatments for autism on people with autism; and what steps he plans to take to help tackle this. Answered by Feryal Clark - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Science, Innovation and Technology) This government recognises the damaging impact online misinformation can have. Autism is not a medical condition with treatments or a "cure". The NHS website highlights that products falsely claiming to be cures or treatments for autism are harmful, including chlorine dioxide. The Online Safety Act requires platforms to tackle illegal health mis- and disinformation content on their services for all users – these requirements have been in place since March. Additionally from 25 July, services in-scope of the Act that children can easily access, will be required to protect them from legal but nonetheless harmful content, including that which encourages the ingestion, inhalation or exposure to harmful substances.
