Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what steps her Department is taking to help support victims through the criminal justice system.
Answered by Alex Davies-Jones - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Ministry of Justice)
The Victims’ Code is a practical and useful guide for victims of crime to understand what they can expect from the criminal justice system and minimum service they should receive.
We will consult on a new Victims’ Code.
We also provide funding for victim support services to help victims recover from the impact of crime.
