As the Deputy will understand, my Department is responsible for a wide range of policy and legislative matters in relation to civil and criminal justice and the immigration system and has responsibility for a large number of statutory and non-statutory bodies.

In the normal course of business the Department keeps all aspects of our policies and legislation under review in order to ensure that all policies, operations and legislation remain fit for purpose. This is supported through ongoing collaboration and consultation with stakeholders, including public representatives as well as the public.

In addition to this from time to time my Department conducts more formal reviews on specific issues.

A list of formal reviews currently underway is set out in the table below.
