Mr David Lammy

Labour — Tottenham

Speaking in the House of Commons on 2 December 2025

Debate

Criminal Court Reform

Contribution

I am grateful for that question, and I will reflect on my hon. Friend’s point about evidence, but as I have said, I do not believe that a sunset clause would be right in this area because of the demand and the complexity to which Sir Brian has referred, and also because legislation will take some time. I hope to see the backlog reducing by the next election, but I do believe that these changes have to be permanent.
