T1. Mr O'Toole asked the Minister whether, if she is successful in seeking another office to leave the office that she holds now and as this could be the last time that she is in the Chamber to answer questions as Minister, given that she has now had several weeks in which to consider whether to appeal the High Court's scathing rejection of the anonymity provisions in the Justice (Sexual Offences and Trafficking Victims) Act 2022, she will do what sexual offence victims and media organisations would like her to do and confirm that she will not appeal that judgement.
