Labour — Finchley and Golders Green

Speaking in the House of Commons on 10 November 2026

Debate

Court Backlog

Contribution

I am proud of the work the Labour Government have done in introducing a once-in-a-generation piece of legislation increasing workers’ rights, but we must ensure that those rights are capable of enforcement. The backlogs in the employment tribunal are ones that I recognise, which is why reform will be necessary and why we are increasing capacity with additional judicial recruitment. We are also seeing additional challenges through the pressures that AI is bringing. Our response needs to be up to the task by ensuring that we introduce our own uses of responsible AI to meet that challenge.
