Labour — Birmingham Ladywood

Speaking in the House of Commons on 22 April 2025

Debate

Bail Guidelines

Contribution

Equality before the law is a cornerstone of our justice system, and my position on this is clear. Later today, this House will debate legislation to overturn guidelines that the last Conservative Government welcomed, and I am not stopping there. I am reviewing current policy, and this guidance is being redrafted as we speak, including on the approach to bail information for courts.
