Liberal Democrat — Newbury

Speaking in the House of Commons on 11 March 2025

Debate

Court Backlogs

Contribution

I agree with the Minister’s assessment of the previous Conservative Government. However, with more than 382,000 cases still in the backlog for magistrates, have the Government done an assessment of whether that will increase, given the doubled sentencing powers that have been passed down to those courts?
