Criminal Justice Committee


Pre-Budget Scrutiny 2023-24

Background

The Criminal Justice Committee undertook pre-budget scrutiny in advance of the Scottish Government’s 2023-24 budget. The Committee also considered the possible longer-term implications for the budget of the Scottish justice sector given the current economic environment.

The Committee wanted to hear your views on this situation:

  • What are your views on the impact of a possible real terms cut in the funding for the Scottish justice sector for the financial year 2023/24?
  • What are your views of the impact of a possible real terms cut in the funding for the Scottish justice sector for the financial year over the longer term if the present rate of high inflation continues beyond 2023?
  • Any other comments you may wish to make on the impact of the possible flat- cash settlement on the Scottish justice sector or the budget more widely.

The Committee's call for views closed on Friday 21 October. Written submissions received are now available online.
