Speaking in the House of Commons on 14 October 2026

Debate

Restriction of Jury Trials: Rule of Law

Contribution

This will be complete news to the Opposition, but we do occasionally listen to what this House and the professions have said. We are going forward with proposals that will tackle the backlog. The Opposition never want to talk about the backlog because they caused it. We are looking for solutions to that; they are welcome to put forward their suggestions.
