Question to the Ministry of Justice:
When the Independent Review of Criminal Legal Aid will publish its recommendations.
This question was answered on 9th November 2021
The Criminal Legal Aid Independent Review follows on from the introduction of the 'accelerated measures' which injected up to £51m per annum into the criminal legal aid system in September 2020.
Sir Christopher Bellamy QC is leading the review, which I understand he is close to completing. I can confirm the Government will publish Sir Christopher's report together with its response as soon as possible.
