Liberal Democrat — Wimbledon

Speaking in the House of Commons on 9 July 2025

Debate

Trial by Jury: Proposed Restrictions

Contribution

I sympathise with the Minister’s frustration at the Tories’ brass neck. There is clearly a crisis in the criminal justice system, and it is clearly of their making. However, rather than undermining the jury system, we need to invest in our courts. Does the Minister agree that this is all about priorities? Is she going to use her limited budget to build more prisons and simply produce more prisoners, or use that limited money to invest in the criminal justice system and restorative justice?
