The Ministry of Justice does not maintain a central record of all of its externally commissioned social research. It only maintains a central record of the social research that has been externally commissioned by the Analytical Services Directorate. Some of the Ministry of Justice\u2019s agencies and public bodies will also independently externally commission social research but a central record of this work is not maintained.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Ministry of Justice has no plans to publish the central record of social research that has been commissioned by the Analytical Services Directorate.<\/p>
