<p>We welcomed David Lammy MP’s Review into the treatment of, and outcomes for, Black,
Asian and Ethnic Minority individuals in the Criminal Justice System when it was published
in 2017. We remain committed to taking each recommendation from that review forward
in some way.</p><p>Ensuring that the courts are both transparent and comprehensible
is essential, and publishing sentencing remarks would enable greater public understanding
of sentencing decisions. We continue to consider how recommendation 13 could be taken
forward. We are considering how the HMCTS Court Reform Programme and continuing developments
in technology could provide new, cost-effective options for taking this forward.</p>
