The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what the cost was of producing the Judicial Diversity and Inclusion Strategy 2026-2030.

Answered by Sarah Sackman

The Judicial Diversity and Inclusion Strategy 2026-2030 was produced by the Judiciary, as part of the Lady Chief Justice’s statutory responsibility to encourage judicial diversity.

In keeping with the principle of judicial independence, the Ministry of Justice was not involved in producing the strategy and no costs were incurred by the Department.
