The Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) has published its response to the Westminster Commission's ‘In the Interests of Justice – An inquiry into the Criminal Cases Review Commission’ report. After scrutinising the CCRC's performance and the discharge of its public functions, the Westminster Commission made 30 recommendations, some of which were directed at the CCRD and some at other organisations, on a range of issues. The CCRC has confirmed that it will give detailed consideration to the recommendations and will review how it operates.
