Unions alert MPs to pressures on the Justice System

The Justice Under Stress rally, organised by by Napo, the POA and PCS, with the support of the Police Federation at the House of Commons on 9 June, to alert MPs and Peers to the funding crisis that enveloping the criminal justice system, proved a huge success.

Over 150 justice union members crowded into Committee Room 14 to hear a full platform of speakers, including MPs and Peers from all Parties, express their support for a properly funded and resourced criminal justice system

The rally saw the launch of a parliamentary campaign aimed at securing a fair financial deal for the services and a criminal justice system that protects the public, not one that puts it at risk. The campaign is supported by the all Party Justice Unions’ Parliamentary Group of MPs.

A report, detailing the common concerns of the unions and the Police Federation, was also launched on the day and circulated to MPs. A copy of the report - Justice under Stress - can be downloaded below.
