Judicial Review and Courts Bill

Proceeding contribution from Andy Carter (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 26 October 2021. It occurred during Debate on bills on Judicial Review and Courts Bill.

I agree with the comments the Secretary of State made earlier about the work of the judiciary in bringing down delays. In particular, I put on record my thanks to the magistrates who work in our courts around the UK. Does he agree that one route we could choose to reduce the number of delays in magistrates courts is to increase the sentencing powers for magistrates? Perhaps he can say a little more on that point.
