I. Stephanie Boyce FKC, FRSA: “It is sustained investment into the next decade which will fix Britain’s broken justice system.”

The Verdict!

It is sustained investment into the next decade which will fix Britain’s broken justice system.

Stability cannot be restored to our public finances, to protecting people, to fixing and to rebuilding

Britain when we have court rooms closing every week due to their poor physical condition,

children being taken in to care cases waiting over a year to be resolved.

People struggling to navigate through court alone and criminal cases being listed for trial in 2027.

It is shortsighted to fund some parts of the justice system and to give nothing to other parts of it

Whilst the Budget announced funding for prisons, the Crown Prosecution Service

and probation-all of which is very welcome, there are many parts of the beleaguered

system that need a financial injection. Britain works best when all parts of its public sector are properly funded;

this is a matter of necessity.

This budget has done little to “wipe the slate clean” for our crumbling, broken justice system.

It is investment, investment, investment that will ensure a clean slate.
