Speaking in the House of Commons on 10 November 2026

Debate

Court Backlog

Contribution

The number of cases at the Teesside combined court centre has more than doubled over the last decade, and organisations supporting victims of violence against women and girls tell me that they are concerned about the length of time it takes to get justice. What steps will the Government take to address that, and will they ensure that the rape and sexual abuse support fund remains ringfenced for organisations that provide legal support to those victims and survivors?
