Michael was recently called to appear before the Justice Select Committee. Select Committees check and report on all areas of Government.
The Justice Committee examines the policies and spending of the Ministry of Justice, and the Office of the Attorney General. This includes courts, legal aid, prisons, probation and the rule of law. The committee is chaired by Sir Bob Neill MP, who is a very experienced Parliamentarian.
Michael appeared alongside the Attorney General, Victoria Prentis. They answered questions on a variety of topics, including sentencing guidelines, the funding of the Serious Fraud Office, and the work of the Crown Prosecution Service.
