Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, when does he expect to receive the final report of the UK Law Commission's Criminal Appeals consultation.
This question was answered on 13th October 2026
The Law Commission has indicated that it expects to publish its final report on criminal appeals in early 2027. It also intends to publish a separate report on compensation and support for the wrongly convicted by the end of 2026.
The Government will carefully consider the findings and recommendations of both reports once published.
