<p>The refund scheme was announced on 20th October 2017 through an article on the
gov.uk website, letters to parliamentarians, and information disseminated through
partners such as trades unions, the Law Society and the Citizens Advice. In April
2018, we wrote to everyone entitled to a refund and who had not yet applied, as well
as interested MPs, to ensure they were aware of the scheme and how to apply. This
was completed in July 2018.</p><p> </p><p>To complete this exercise, we employed an
external delivery partner at the cost of £28,000. This does not include the time spent
by MoJ officials on this task.</p>
