Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, when she plans to publish the independent review of her Department’s language services.

We have been considering the findings of the independent review to help inform the development of new tender specifications. This is a complex process and covers a wide range of agencies within the Ministry of Justice. Once all internal governance has been completed the review will be released, we expect to publish the outcome by 31 December 2024.
