Martin Vickers

Conservative — Brigg and Immingham

Speaking in the House of Commons on 2 December 2025

Debate

Criminal Court Reform

Contribution

Tony Blair’s Administration put forward similar proposals, but were eventually forced to abandon them, thanks to opposition in the House and beyond. A similar coalition of opposition appears to be building up yet again. On the reply that the Justice Secretary has just given, may I urge him to reconsider the sunset clause, which might be the only way that he can get these proposals through the House?
