Bradley Thomas

Conservative — Bromsgrove

Speaking in the House of Commons on 27 November 2025

Debate

Right to Trial by Jury

Contribution

The Minister has spoken about the importance of swift and fair justice, but I feel this decision will set a very dangerous precedent that the state will become addicted to. I sincerely hope the Government do not go down this path, but if they do, I urge the Minister to ensure that this measure is in place only for the duration required to clear the backlog and is then abandoned. It must not become a central tenet of the justice system.
