Justice (including Topical Questions)

MPs question a government minister

This is a scheduled oral question session for the Justice Department, allowing MPs to quiz the Justice Secretary and ministerial team on a range of justice-related matters. Questions may cover courts, sentencing, prisons, criminal justice reform, legal aid, or related policy areas. Topical questions allow MPs to raise urgent or newsworthy issues without advance notice.

Justice oral questions are a key accountability mechanism for scrutinising the government's handling of the criminal justice system, which directly affects public safety, victim support, and prison operations. This session provides an opportunity for MPs to press the government on crime response, court backlogs, sentencing policy, and other urgent justice issues affecting constituents.
