Sentencing BillContribution
Certainly, the issues should not be met, as we discussed last night, by denying the right to jury trial to many defendants, as the Government presently intend. That suggestion is contrary to generations of members of the Labour Party and Labour Governments adhering to and admiring the principle of jury trial. It is deeply disappointing to see those principles abandoned.
