Voicing
concern
03 May 2012 by Malcolm Fowler
Journalists Catherine Baksi and John Hyde are to be congratulated for
their perseverance in reporting on what is correctly described in your
editorial as the ‘farce’ resulting from the engagement of Applied Language
Solutions (aka Capita) for the justice system’s interpreting and translating
services.
Rather than the stance of continued denial of what all on the ground can
see is happening, at the very least the Ministry of Justice should forthwith
consult the authentic interpreters’ groups. Urgency should be the watchword,
since every day that passes brings with it serious and expensive disruption and
the real danger of miscarriages of justice. I thank the Gazette for
adding its voice and weight to this important issue.
