1432 (2026). Hon Ginny Andersen to the Minister of Justice: What changes, if any, have been made to the Ministerial Advisory Group for Victims of Retail Crime’s spending plans to ensure efficiency and prudent resources allocation to ensure expenditure remains within available means following discussions he had with the Group’s Chair on 28 August 2025?
