Justice Select Committee
calls for evidence into interpreting and translation services
The Justice Select Committee has announced an inquiry into the provision
of interpretation and translation services since Applied Language Solutions
(ALS) began operating as the Ministry of Justice's sole contractor for language
services in February 2012, and has called for evidence.
The Law Society is considering submitting evidence to the Committee in
relation to one area under its consideration, and in which our members may have
had experience, namely whether the new arrangements for the provision of
interpreter and translation services as of February 2012 has affected the court
or tribunal hearings in which they have been involved.
If you, as a solicitor, have had any direct experience of the provision
of interpreters in courts or tribunals by ALS that may be of interest to the
Select Committee and which we could include in a submission, please email brief
details by Monday 6 August to consultationresponse@lawsociety.org.uk.
