Reform UK — Fareham and Waterlooville

Speaking in the House of Commons on 7 January 2026

Debate

Jury Trials

Contribution

The hon. and learned Member is making a good point. I, too, am a recovering lawyer. On the impact of these proposals, does he agree that because of the lack of confidence, what we are likely to see is not a cut in the backlog but an increase in applications to the Appeal Court to overturn unsafe convictions? That is hardly a way to fix the justice system.
