Politics and government of
the United Kingdom The Ministry of Justice has been a department of the government of the United Kingdom since 2007. It was created on 9 May 2007 by merging the Department for Constitutional Affairs (formerly known as the Lord Chancellor's Department) with parts of the Home Office responsible for criminal justice policy, sentencing policy, probation, prisons and prevention of re-offending in England and Wales. The department is located in 102 Petty France (previously called 50 Queen Anne's Gate) in Westminster, London. The ministry handles relations between the three devolved governments (the Northern Ireland Executive, the Scottish Government and the Welsh Assembly Government) and the UK government. It administers some tribunals in the whole of the UK, and has various other functions, such as human rights and electoral reform, which also covers the whole of the UK.
