New Justice Bills announced by the government in the King’s Speech
On Tuesday 7 November, the government set its legislative agenda for the next Parliamentary session, announcing a total of 21 Bills. Of those, three focussed specifically on the criminal justice system. Below, we set out some of the key measures that were proposed as part of those pieces of legislation. More details about these Bills, and all the others announced in the speech, can be found in the government’s Background Briefing Notes.
Why we need to pursue alternatives to renting foreign prison places
The news that the government will be tabling legislation allowing it to rent prison spaces abroad has caused considerable concern across the voluntary sector. There is widespread disappointment that these proposals are being considered when other measures to reduce the population pressures, such as early release schemes and diversion programmes, are not being considered with the same priority.
