Mr. Dismore

To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department if he will make a statement on the progress of the inquiry into criminal justice procedures by Sir Robin Auld. [139572]

Jane Kennedy

Lord Justice Auld has received over 900 written submissions to his review. He has held numerous meetings with individuals who work or have an interest in the criminal courts, and has published two interim reports, which are available on the review website (www.criminal-courts-review.org). He is now drafting his final conclusions and hopes to bring the review to a conclusion early in the new year.
