Labour — Colchester

Speaking in the House of Commons on 14 October 2025

Debate

Criminal Courts: Independent Review

Contribution

Does the hon. Gentleman agree that the jury trial system has evolved over time—it has been with us for centuries—and has changed intermittently over time: it looks very different now than it did in the 13th century. In the 19th century, civil adjudications were taken out of the jury trial system and our civil justice system is still extremely robust.
