answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/10/2019 answer text <p>We are committed to helping all witnesses give their best possible evidence so that offenders are brought to justice.

By June 2019 this has commenced at nine Crown Court centres in England and Wales. In June 2019 we also extended section 28 to intimidated witnesses who are a victim of crime in sexual and modern slavery offences by testing the provision in the Crown Court centres at Leeds, Liverpool, and Kingston upon Thames.</p> answering member constituency Aldridge-Brownhills answering member printed Wendy Morton question first answered 23/10/2019 15:50:54 answering member 4358 label Biography information for Wendy Morton
