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 will consider 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 is covered in the UK Victims and Prisoners Act 2024 and officials in my Department are aware of this initiative and will monitor its progress.
