Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what meetings his Department has held with victims organisations on law for victims of crime in the last twelve months.

Supporting victims of crime is a priority for the Government and we have made a commitment to publish a Victims Strategy this Summer. We are looking at legislative and non-legislative options to give effect to the Strategy. My predecessor met regularly with the Victims’ Commissioner and victims organisations, as well as directly with victims of crime. I will continue this engagement and I look forward to hearing from victims and those who support them.
