Answer from Hansard

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Justice (Jake Richards)

Last November, the Deputy Prime Minister announced a review of the national protocol for reducing the criminalisation of that cohort. Officials are actively working on that, and we will publish a strengthened protocol later this year.
