Justice Committee: Work of the Attorney General and the Solicitor General

Committee hears from witnesses

The Justice Committee will hear oral evidence from the Attorney General and Solicitor General about their role and work. These two law officers head the prosecution service and advise the government on legal matters; this scrutiny examines how effectively they are performing their statutory duties, pursuing justice, and managing the criminal justice system.

The Attorney General and Solicitor General are central to the rule of law and the Crown's prosecution of crime. Parliamentary scrutiny of their work is a key check on their power and ensures they remain accountable for decisions affecting criminal cases, victims, and the administration of justice across the country.
