  • Rt Hon David Gauke MP Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice Ministry of Justice 102 Petty France London SW1H 9AJ
    Rt Hon David Gauke MP Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice Ministry of Justice 102 Petty France London SW1H 9AJ 18 July 2018 Dear Secretary of State Ahead of a Parliamentary debate on progress in protecting victims of domestic abuse in the family courts, scheduled for 18 July 2018, we are writing to urge the Government to bring forward the long-awaited ban on the ability of alleged perpetrators to cross-examine victims of domestic abuse within family proceedings. As your predecessor Rt. Hon Elizabeth Truss MP recognised in 2017, a statutory bar on the ability of alleged abusers from cross-examining their victims is a critical step forward to affording victims in the family courts the same protections they receive in criminal courts. The legislation to ban this harmful practice, set out within the Prison and Courts Bill, was warmly welcomed by victims, charities, the legal profession, across all political parties and by senior members of the family judiciary. It was extremely unfortunate that the Bill fell before the General Election in 2017. These changes are uncontentious and severely overdue. A year after the Government pledged to introduce the ban, a survey by Women’s Aid and Queen Mary University of London found that 24% of responding victims of domestic abuse had been cross-examined by their abusive former partner. These findings are of course similar to a Women’s Aid survey conducted in 2015, which found that a quarter of respondents had been cross-examined. As Hayden J made clear in Re A (a minor) (fact finding; unrepresented party) [2017] EWHC 1195 (Fam), [2017] All ER (D) 49 (Jun), the act of cross examination is not only a ‘stain on the reputation of our family justice system’ but ‘is, in itself, abusive.’ Through our support and representation for victims we know the harm that cross-examination can cause, and the implications that this practice has for justice.

  • Annual Consultation on the Ministry of Justice and Its Arms Length Bodies' Statistical Work-Plan 2013/14
    Annual consultation on the Ministry of Justice and its Arms Length Bodies’ statistical work-plan 2013/14 Overview by the Ministry of Justice’s Chief Statistician It is with pleasure I bring forward the Ministry of Justice’s consultation on forthcoming work for 2013/14. This is the fourth year in which we have consulted on the Ministry of Justice’s work-plan and the previous consultations have led to wide-ranging improvements to the methodology, presentation and dissemination of statistics in Ministry of Justice and its Arms Length Bodies. Following consultation with our users, we have, over the past year: - Worked hard to improve the commentary surrounding our statistics. We have aimed to focus more on interpretative commentary; to better explain why trends are behaving as they are and to give the wider context. - Launched the Justice Data Lab; a new service helping organisations working with offenders assess the impact of their work on re- offending. - Significantly developed data linking across the Criminal Justice System and with Other Government Departments to improve our knowledge of the offender population. - Expanded the POLICE.UK website to include justice outcomes as well as crimes. - Produced several new publications exploring the following topics in detail: -Sexual offences -Language services in courts and tribunals -The relationship between employment and re-offending - Undertaken a UK Statistics Authority assessment on the Offender Management, Safety in Custody and MAPPA reports. All these have now taken on board the recommendations from the assessment and are all designated as National Statistics. - Begun the UK Statistics Authority assessment process for our Youth Justice Statistics publication to gain National Statistics status.

  • Mr Al-Jedda, Deprivation of Citizenship, and International Law
    Mr Al-Jedda, Deprivation of Citizenship, and International Law Guy S. Goodwin-Gill1 Revised draft of a paper presented at a Seminar at Middlesex University on 14 February 2014 1. The Background in Brief Mr Al-Jedda was a refugee from Iraq. He was granted asylum in the United Kingdom and duly acquired British citizenship by naturalisation; as a consequence, he lost his Iraqi citizenship by operation of law. During the course of the war with Iraq, he was detained there and held by the British military on security grounds. He was released in December 2006, shortly after the Secretary of State made an order purporting to deprive him of his British citizenship. He appealed to the Special Immigration Appeals Commission in 2008, where argument focused on, among other issues, whether Occupying Powers are competent to legislate on nationality, and on the meaning and scope of various legal instruments, including the Transitional Administrative Law (TAL) decreed by the Coalition Provisional Authority and the 2006 Iraqi Nationality Law. SIAC rejected his appeal, finding that he was an Iraqi citizen. This was overturned by the Court of Appeal, which referred the matter back to SIAC. SIAC again found against Mr Al-Jedda, but was again overruled by the Court of Appeal which held that he had automatically lost Iraqi citizenship on acquiring British citizenship, and that he had not automatically regained it either under the TAL or the 2006 Law. Consequently, he could not lawfully be deprived of his British citizenship, as this would render him stateless. The Secretary of State appealed to the Supreme Court, arguing that under section 40 of the British Nationality Act, she could be ‘satisfied’ that the making of a deprivation order would not render the individual concerned stateless if there was another nationality ‘option’, for example, if that person ‘could’ apply elsewhere, and ‘would be’ granted citizenship.

  • Ministry of Justice Letterhead
    The Right Honourable Robert Buckland QC MP Lord Chancellor & Secretary of State for Justice Baroness Hamwee Chair of the Justice and Home Affairs Committee House of Lords SW1A 0PW 19 July 2021 Dear Sally, MODERNISING LASTING POWERS OF ATTORNEY I am writing to inform you and your Committee of the public consultation on modernising lasting powers of attorney that will be launched on 20 July 2021. A lasting power of attorney (LPA) is a legal tool that helps people plan for their future. It lets someone (the ‘donor’) choose people they trust (‘attorneys’) to support them and make decisions for them if they lose the mental capacity to make their own decisions in the future. The LPA was introduced by the Mental Capacity Act 2005 (MCA), to replace the Enduring Power of Attorney. It aimed to balance the need to improve safeguards for the donor, with the need for it to be easy to make an LPA. The MCA also created the Office of the Public Guardian (OPG), an executive agency of the Ministry of Justice. OPG is responsible for registering LPAs. This must be done before an LPA can be used. The OPG is also responsible for taking action where there are concerns about an attorney’s use of the LPA. The aims of modernising lasting powers of attorney are to: • increase safeguards, especially for the donor • improve the process of making and registering an LPA for donors, attorneys and third parties • achieve sustainability for OPG whilst keeping LPAs as affordable as possible for all people in society The consultation, which you can access here: https://consult.justice.gov.uk/opg/modernising-lasting- powers-of-attorney, considers how best to achieve these aims and what amendments to primary legislation may be needed to facilitate change.
