Call for scrutiny of public monies expended on recent abandoned MoJ "reforms".

Closed 222 signatures

What the petition asks

The MoJ, in the coalition Govt & this Parliament, has introduced numerous, ill-thought-out, rushed, & ultimately abandoned policies, especially radically "reforming" inter alia Criminal Legal Aid. After numerous consultations & judicial reviews the MoJ reforms are in tatters. At doubtless huge cost.

"Book bans", "super prisons", "secure colleges", "dual contracts" etc etc MoJ has recently set about publicly funded law - Crime, Family etc - not with a scalpel but with an ideological machete. The results are now plain to see. Andy Slaughter MP asked "How much public money & civil service time has been spent on the aborted tendering processes, the court cases & the consultations in the past three years?" Shailesh Vara MP replied it would be a waste of time! The taxpaying public deserve answers!
