Ministry of Justice (United Kingdom)

And he said, do you not find this very ironic? Like, you was literally...

in the heart of the criminal justice system like they buried you and it would have been people in this building that would have made those decisions and then suddenly you're being invited into this very same building I said the irony has not got lost on me whatsoever and there's been so many occasions like well I've been in the Ministry of Justice and you've been walking around the building and like you're there with ministers and like over those years like the moj was always my enemy and i hated them like the ministry of justice was always like the thing i was brought up to absolutely despise them and the police and then suddenly you're in the heart of the monster you're actually in it even though they're not a monster there's a wrong word i've used there but you know what i mean i was i was actually in the beat in the heart of it all and uh and how much like my life has transitioned over those years

Ah, okay.

But ILCA is a tax being proposed by the Ministry of Justice, not a tax being proposed by the Treasury.

And therefore, the MOJ won't be able to get this unless the Treasury consents to it.

So we use the budget process as another lever to pull against this really ludicrous proposal.

Indeed.

And we're using the budget as another opportunity to hammer home that message.

I think where we are right now with Ilker is the LAMI-led Ministry of Justice proposed this.

It's months ago as well.

Hello, Malcolm.

I'm excited to be speaking with you today because given that people in the UK are sent to jail for inciting racial hatred, the internet is now truly shocked by a chart that The Economist used, where they used Ministry of Justice data standardized for age and sex to show that Afghan nationals are at roughly 7x the British conviction rate for sexual offenses.

And they also showed that Middle East and North Africa at 3.6 times Sub-Saharan Africa at 2.5 times, with the EU and East Asian groups being below the baseline.

This is the graph that I found on their article.

high-rate.

The Economist analyses suggest that the 20 times claim is a wild exaggeration, but our numbers are hardly reassuring.

The Migration Observatory, a think tank based at Oxford University, obtained figures through freedom of information requests to the Ministry of Justice.

These count cautions...

That's why we are working at pace to improve the current homelessness situation that we inherited from the previous government to make sure that nobody, including prison leavers, leave prison homeless or have to live homeless.

Later, the Ministry of Justice denied that the Prisons and Probation Service had been giving out tents, as that would be against government policy.

More generally, the Labour chair of the Justice Committee, Catherine Atkinson, was worried about the potential impact of the early release scheme.

Victims should not have to make their lives smaller, looking over their shoulder because offenders are free to roam.

the kind of Gordon Brown era where the chancellor was all powerful, banging, you know, banging the dispatch box.

And that was the central event to the central event being owned by a tiny organization that sits on the 13th floor of the Ministry of Justice building over in something called Petit France just down the road.

And that is how budgets are judged.

And I can tell you that has driven successive chancellors completely nuts.

We're very pleased that you're here.

Who's, uh, Nicola is the head of design at the Ministry of Justice, and she spent the last 25 years helping organizations make better use of design, technology, and collaboration.

And her career has taken her across three countries, from leading creative teams in digital agencies, working with brands such as Coca-Cola and Deutsche Bank, to help organizations like the BBC transform digital services and ways of working.

And today, she focuses on how large organizations can learn from themselves, and is leading initiatives such as the government's reuse library, so Gov Reuse Library, championing reuse across government and exploring how AI is changing the way public services are designed and delivered.

The way I hear you describe it is about efficiencies in there and making sure you're not starting from scratch each time.

But there's another side to it, which is, I think, interesting and was an eye-opener for me in the workshop.

So because you're in Ministry of Justice, I had expected everybody there to be from Ministry of Justice, but you brought together quite amazingly people from across governments.

Uh, so the ambition there is much bigger.
