Answered by Phillip Lee
The MoJ Board membership is in the line with guidance issued from the Cabinet Office, which outlines that Departmental Boards should, as a minimum, include Non-Executive Board Members, Ministers and Senior Civil Servants (including the Permanent Secretary).
In order to make Board discussions and meetings as effective as possible, a range of additional attendees may be invited on occasion to ensure robust scrutiny and a wider range advice is considered.
The membership will be guided by the Cabinet Office in order to keep a consistent approach with the rest of the departments.
