Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, if he will provide the itinerary for the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Sentencing, Human Rights and Technology's trip to the USA in July 2026, including the organisations visited and topics discussed.

This trip took place to support the once-in-a-generation reforms we are making to our youth justice system. In Missouri, as part of the delegation, I visited a family court and hosted a roundtable there on legal advocacy for child offenders. I also visited two youth custody detention centres as the ‘Missouri Model’ of youth justice is recognised across the world for its high-performing rehabilitative approach. In Chicago, I hosted another roundtable on childhood criminal record reform and met with the Obama Foundation’s ‘My Brother’s Keepers Alliance’ at the Obama centre.
