Government responds to the Public Service Committee's 'Lost in Translation' report

The 26-page response provides a detailed commentary on the Committee’s recommendations, which were set out in the Lost in Translation report published in March, reflecting the complexity of the issues raised.

However, there remain several areas where greater clarity and further information are required before we can assess whether the proposed ‘improvements’ to the current framework - outlined in the Minister’s covering letter - will meaningfully address the concerns of our members.

We are actively engaging with our colleagues in the Professional Interpreters for Justice (PI4J) network to review the Government’s response in full and determine our next steps.
