Criminal Proceedings: Interpreters
Ministry of Justice written
question – answered on 7th January 2020.
Matthew Offord Conservative, Hendon
To ask the Secretary of
State for Justice, whether translators in criminal trials are remunerated in
cases where the foreign-speaking defendant does not turn up for their trial.
Chris Philp The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Justice
If an interpreter has
attended a booking, but is no longer required to deliver service, at a minimum
they will be paid a cancellation fee. Depending on the circumstances the
interpreter may also receive a payment for the time spent waiting to provide a
service at the venue.
