Proceeding contribution from Warinder Juss (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 18 June 2026. It occurred during Backbench debate and Select Committee statement on Courts and Tribunals Bill.
Courts and Tribunals Bill
My hon. Friend will know that there has been quite a bit of opposition to having judge-only trials. Given that only 1% of the judiciary are black, does he agree that it is now even more urgent to look at how the judiciary are appointed? Something appears to be seriously wrong with the selection procedure.
