Justice and Security

Consultation

On 19 October 2011 the Government published a Green Paper on Justice and Security. The Green Paper makes proposals on the way in which sensitive information is dealt with in the full range of civil judicial proceedings. It also considers options for strengthening non-judicial oversight of the security and intelligence agencies.

The Green Paper is still available to download in full here. Hard copies can be purchased from TSO at a cost of £20.50.

Also available to download are the accompanying Impact Assessments and Equality Impact Assessment
