Barristers: Public Appointments
(asked on 12th May 2020) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they will review the QC appointments competition to assess whether from 2021 it should no longer be externalised.
This question was answered on 26th May 2020
The Government has no current plans to review the QC appointments competition and make this a Government function. The fees for both QC applications and QC appointments are set by Queens’ Counsel Appointments Ltd, and are therefore a matter for QCA.
