Sir Jeremy Wright

Conservative — Kenilworth and Southam

Speaking in the House of Commons on 10 March 2026

Debate

Courts and Tribunals Bill

Contribution

My hon. Friend is making the point that consultation on and discussion of the Bill may be fruitful if we are to properly understand its effects. One difference the Bill will make is that when a judge tries a case on his or her own, in the absence of a jury, they will be required by the Bill to give reasons for any conviction that they conclude is appropriate. Does my hon. Friend think that the Government have considered the potential impact of that on likely appeals of those decisions to the Court of Appeal?
