On Amendments 12 and 13 in the name of the noble Baroness, Lady Brinton, I am grateful to her— I mean that—for raising restorative justice again today and I thank her for her recent engagement with me and continued commitment to championing this important subject. As I have said before, this Government are committed to the effective use of restorative justice where it is appropriate. We entirely agree that, when delivered in the right circumstances, it can improve victim satisfaction, reduce reoffending and bring benefits to victims, offenders and the wider community.
