question text	To ask His Majesty's Government when the independent review of qualifications and experience required of spoken language interpreters in HM Courts and Tribunals Service will be completed; and when it will be published.
tabling member printed	Baroness Coussins
uin	HL8908
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/07/2023 answer text <p>The review of qualifications and experience has been completed by an independent expert. We are considering its findings as part of a wider review of service requirements currently being undertaken within the Ministry of Justice, which is helping inform the development of new tender specifications. This is a complex process and covers a wide range of agencies within MoJ. Because this is linked with the ongoing language services procurement and invitation to tender work it is unlikely anything will be published before 2024. We will, of course, publish the outcome of the review once it is complete.</p> answering member printed Lord Bellamy question first answered 13/07/2023 11:29:06 answering member 4941 label Biography information for Lord Bellamy
