Aphra Brandreth

Conservative — Chester South and Eddisbury

Speaking in the House of Commons on 27 November 2025

Debate

Right to Trial by Jury

Contribution

Trial by jury may be more expensive than trial by judge and magistrates, but does the Minister agree that, as we have heard today, this decision goes beyond just finances? The right to a fair trial by an impartial jury is fundamental and essential to safeguarding justice, and it must be protected for all cases.
