As the Deputy will be aware, I am introducing important reforms to support and protect vulnerable victims and ensure that our criminal justice system is more victim-centred.

I want to assure the Deputy that all legislation in my Department is kept under review and I am committed to considering any changes necessary to ensure it remains effective, proportionate and fully compliant with due process and the Constitution.

As I understand it, Daisy’s Law will be covered in the UK Victims and Prisoners Bill which before the Houses of Parliament in the UK.

Officials in my Department are aware of this initiative and will monitor its progress.
