Courts and Tribunals Bill (Sixth sitting)

2026-04-16 · 18:33

I echo the points made by the shadow Minister. The issue here is where sentences may go above three years. A sentence of three years or more is fairly significant. The crime, of c…

Again, I invite a Tea Room conversation —although we may have to meet somewhere geographically in the middle of the Tea Room. Any measure that materially and detrimentally alters…

Courts and Tribunals Bill (Sixth sitting)

2026-04-16 · 15:30

Yes. Let us get back to principles here. I support what the Government are trying to do in reducing the backlog. Of course, that is the right thing to do, and it benefits both tho…

Courts and Tribunals Bill (Sixth sitting)

The hon. Member for Chichester has set out the reasoning behind her amendment very well. If the amendment were agreed to, it would not go anywhere near restoring jury trials, but…

Courts and Tribunals Bill (Sixth sitting)

Evidently, I support the amendment in the name of the shadow Minister. As he set out, this is about confidence in the trial when it gets under way. It is about understanding what…

Courts and Tribunals Bill (Sixth sitting)

Courts and Tribunals Bill (Sixth sitting)

I will go on to my next bit, which is even more relevant than my previous bit. The Police (Detention and Bail) Act 2011 is Parliament’s most recent example of retrospective crimin…

Courts and Tribunals Bill (Sixth sitting)

I intend to wind up quite shortly, Ms Jardine.

Courts and Tribunals Bill (Sixth sitting)

I am grateful for that indication, Ms Jardine, and I understand. It had interfered with ongoing legal proceedings in favour of the state, which is exactly what is happening here:…

Courts and Tribunals Bill (Sixth sitting)

I continue to be grateful to the hon. Member for hanging on my every word, and I am grateful for the opportunity to expand on that. As I said, it is a basic tenet of English commo…

Courts and Tribunals Bill (Sixth sitting)

I do. Perhaps I could encourage a Tea Room conversation between the hon. Members for Gloucester and for Bolton South and Walkden, in the hope that her wisdom might rub off on her…
