Courts and Tribunals: Sitting Days

Debate between Robert Jenrick and Warinder Juss

Wednesday 5th March 2025 Commons Chamber

[Warinder Juss (Wolverhampton West) (Lab)]

I thank the Lord Chancellor for her honesty in setting out so clearly the difficult situation that we have inherited from the Conservative party, and I welcome the measures that she has proposed: the record investment in the justice system, and the measures taken to reduce the number of cases going to the Crown courts.

[Robert Jenrick]

It is getting worse.

[Warinder Juss]

It has got worse, because of the Conservative party.

Does my right hon. Friend agree that, as well as focusing on the measures that she has already proposed, we should continue to focus on reducing crime in the first place, and pursue our policies for tackling youth crime, knife crime and violence against women and girls?
