Mr David Lammy

Labour — Tottenham

Speaking in the House of Commons on 3 February 2026

Debate

Changes to Jury Trials

Contribution

Of course we support Sir Brian’s assessments of 20%. He also relied on international comparators. That is one reason why I was recently in Canada, which thought that 20% was an extremely conservative estimate, and that 50% was more likely. We will of course publish our modelling alongside the introduction of the Bill, as the hon. Gentleman would expect.
