Labour (Co-op) — Cramlington and Killingworth

Speaking in the House of Commons on 5 February 2026

Debate

Jury Trials

Contribution

I know from my experience serving as a magistrate the crucial role that magistrates play in our criminal justice system. They are more representative of our country as a whole and the communities that they serve. We all know the pressures on the courts system, so can the Solicitor General set out the role that magistrates can play in bringing down the backlog and victim attrition rates?
