The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, whether she has had discussions with stakeholders on the potential merits of in-sourcing court language services.

Answered by Sarah Sackman

Through the language services stakeholder forum, the Ministry of Justice has regular conversations with stakeholders and was made aware of their view of outsourcing from these conversations. This view was used to clarify the options explored within the delivery model assessment and resulted in the consideration of insourcing, and hybrid options of insource and outsource.
