The Justice Select Committee

The Justice Select Committee is a group of elected Members of Parliament in the UK that examines the work of the Ministry of Justice and its agencies. Their role includes reviewing laws, scrutinizing government policies, and ensuring accountability in the justice system, which encompasses courts, prisons, and legal services. The committee listens to expert testimony, gathers evidence, and produces reports to suggest improvements and hold the government to account. By doing so, they aim to enhance the effectiveness and fairness of the justice system for all citizens.
