Rejected petition The Secretary of State complies with Crime and Courts Act 2013 s.40(4) at once.

Secretaries of State say, ‘The time is not yet right’. Parliament said s.40(4): “Secretary of State must take steps” when s.40 applies. IMPRESS is now an approved regulator: s.40(6) is now met; s.40 now applies. Must = must! Further consultation defies the will of Parliament and an abuse of power.
