The process evaluation, published on gov.uk on 3 April 2023, explored if the section 28 provision was working as intended and if any improvements were required. The evaluation did not examine the impact of section 28, therefore it did not compare the impact of pre-recorded versus live evidence.</p> answering member constituency Charnwood answering member printed Edward Argar question first answered 07/06/2023 08:44:27 answering member 4362 label Biography information for Edward Argar
