Mr Speaker
Order. The question is about Inverclyde, from which New Forest West, North Swindon and Wrexham are a considerable distance away.
Mr Speaker
Well, all right—if the right hon. Gentleman can focus exclusively on Inverclyde.
Sir Desmond Swayne (New Forest West) (Con)
Indeed, Mr Speaker. The successful proportion would not matter nearly so much if the Minister could arrange for those appeals to happen a hell of a lot quicker, and if he can fix it in Inverclyde—well, I need not spell it out, Mr Speaker.
Sir Oliver Heald
My right hon. Friend makes the important point that justice delayed is justice denied, and it is important that cases are brought on quickly. We monitor them very carefully and provide extra days to tribunals as required, so he can be assured that we are not complacent about this.
