My honourable friend the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Ministry of Justice (Claire Ward) has made the following Written Ministerial Statement.

I have today laid before Parliament an end of tenure report for the second Victims Advisory Panel, which met between July 2006 and July 2009.

The report gives details of the panel’s work across the period and sets out recommendations that it has made. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the members of the panel for their hard work.
