The Bill of Rights is now published and explicitly and squarely in relation to article 8, clear guidance and prescription on interpretation to prevent ever-elastic interpretations of the right to family life that allows offenders to trump public interest in their deportation.

A victims law is currently subject to pre-legislative scrutiny and will be introduced. Since the last Labour Government, funding for victims services has quadrupled and section 28 rolled out.

In the past year, we have seen a 67% increase in offenders leaving prison being in work within six months. We are doing that with the roll-out of employment advisory boards, employment hubs in prisons, and critically, the drugs strategy.

We have one of the highest compliance records in the Council of Europe. Frankly, equating our approach with that of President Putin shows a problem with her moral compass.

My hon. Friend is absolutely right that magistrates are the backbone of our criminal justice system. We have increased their sentencing powers from six months to 12 months and launched a £1 million recruitment campaign.

A huge body of work is going on across every part of the criminal justice system, from the police to the Crown Prosecution Service and through to the courts. It involves the recruitment of more independent sexual violence advisers, who can make such a difference not only to victims' recovery, but to their willingness and ability to continue with a prosecution. In particular, we are introducing enhanced measures for specialist support within three pilot courts to support victims who are taking forward these very difficult cases. We are working with the judiciary, the police and the CPS to ensure that we measure and identify what is working so that we can replicate it across the country.

I thank my hon. Friend for that kind invitation; I would be delighted to attend. On the impact of intergenerational trauma, one of the many reasons we are piloting the first residential women's centre in Wales is that we want to see how women who should not be receiving the very short sentences that can be imposed can benefit from an intensive residential course rather than prison. I will be watching the results with interest.

We are making a significant investment in additional funding for legal aid in immigration cases. I am happy to write to the hon. Gentleman with the full details of that important step change. On the wider issue of access to legal aid, I spoke earlier about our consultation on civil legal aid reform and the means test, which will enable 2 million more people to have access to civil legal aid and 3 million more people to have access to legal aid in the magistrates courts. Combined with the £135 million that we are investing in criminal legal aid in response to the Bellamy review, that is a significant investment, by any measure, in legal aid in all our constituencies.

My right hon. and learned Friend has made an extremely good point. He is aware of the article to which I referred in my answer to my hon. Friend the Member for Bromley and Chislehurst—the Chairman of the Select Committee—in which I made clear my wish to engage with the Criminal Bar Association on the next stage of reform, which includes the advocates' graduated fee scheme and some of its core elements that were not in the first phase. As I have said, we adopted that two-phase approach precisely in order to deliver the initial increase in fees as soon as practicable, and it will be introduced in September: a 15% increase for criminal barristers working in magistrates courts and police stations and for those in the AGFS. We think that that is a very generous offer, and we hope the members of the CBA will think about it and stop their disruption of our courts.

The hon. Gentleman has raised an important issue. I am considering the recommendations very carefully, and will respond shortly.

Yes.

The consultation will result in increased access to civil and criminal legal aid, with 2 million more people gaining access to civil legal aid, 3 million more to magistrates courts legal aid, and £135 million additional funds for criminal legal aid. These reforms aim to improve the criminal justice system and civil legal aid.

The call for evidence aims to gather responses and formulate proposals to combat deep-pocketed entities trying to silence transparency. A legislative vehicle will be sought to implement these measures.

The Secretary of State supports the ICC's staying power, as seen with agreements like the UK-UN sentence enforcement agreement for Radovan Karadžić.

The Minister commits to keeping Oakhill under close review, aiming for safe and decent conditions while focusing on rehabilitation for released young people.

That is not what I said.

The government's position remains unchanged, with no current support for a second referendum due to existing pressures and challenges. The focus is on collaborative work between Edinburgh and Westminster Governments.
