Labour — Lewisham West and East Dulwich

Speaking in the House of Commons on 19 March 2026

Debate

Courts and Tribunals Bill

Contribution

Let me say something about confidence. Victims are waiting three years, in some cases, for their rape case to get to court because of the backlogs we inherited from the last Conservative Government—that is not confidence in the justice system. That is why these reforms are necessary. We are clearing up the mess that the previous Government left us.
