Paulette Hamilton

Labour — Birmingham Erdington

Speaking in the House of Commons on 8 December 2025

Debate

Restriction of Jury Trials

Contribution

Jury trials allow ordinary citizens to participate in the justice system—which many groups simply do not trust—ensuring community representation and transparency. Can the Minister explain how citizen involvement can be continued, so that we do not see additional miscarriages of justice as a result of influence from personal bias or external pressures that can potentially lead to unfair outcomes?
