Judicial Review and Courts Bill

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

The hon. Lady is making a fascinating speech and some very strong points. Does she agree that there is now an established

body of judicial review going back a number of years that seems to demonstrate that this particular area of law has allowed the Executive to be held to account by the most vulnerable and weakest in our society? Does she also agree that an additional benefit, as mentioned by the former Attorney General, the right hon. and learned Member for Kenilworth and Southam (Jeremy Wright), is that it focuses the minds of those working in Government—in particular those in the civil service and Ministers—to provide better quality decision making in the first place?
