Public Accounts Committee

Appropriation Accounts 2021
Vote 24 – Justice

Ms Oonagh McPhillips:

They relate to various different aspects of the Department's work. Some of them relate to the prison service and some relate to our immigration service. To be honest, we get quite a lot of correspondence from the general public or employees in other Departments that do not turn out to be protected disclosures for the purposes of the Act for ourselves. They write to the Department of Justice about it. I would say the Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General gets some of those too. We assess whether they are protected disclosures for the purposes of the Act.
