The judicial review challenge relating to the legality of keeping fast-growing breeds of meat chickens was unanimously dismissed by the Court of Appeal. The Court made no declaration that the keeping of fast-growing breeds of meat chickens was unlawful and did not find Defra's policies or enforcement approach to be unlawful. The Government continues to keep animal welfare legislation and its implementation under review and remains committed to maintaining and improving animal welfare standards.

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, how much legal aid was granted to Rosene Nugent and her legal representatives for the Judicial review of the Coroner's Inquest and the Court of Appeal.
The UK Government does not hold this information as Justice and legal aid are devolved in Northern Ireland. The Legal Services Agency, an executive agency sponsored by the Northern Ireland Department of Justice, administers the provision of legal aid in Northern Ireland.
Information on legal aid expenditure can be found on the Legal Services Agency Northern Ireland website.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, when he expects the Court of Appeal to consider the 1998 conviction of former subpostmistress Patricia Owen.
The case of Patricia Owen has been referred to the Court of Appeal by the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC) under section 9 of the Criminal Appeal Act 1995.
Following approval for her daughter to act on her behalf, solicitors have been directed to lodge Grounds of Appeal by 3 December 2025.
Once these are received, and the Respondent’s Notice is filed, the case will be prepared for listing before the Court.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, which Commonwealth countries continue to use the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council as their final court of appeal.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, which Commonwealth countries continue to use the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council as their final court of appeal.
The Commonwealth countries which continue to use the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council (JCPC) as their final court of appeal are Antigua and Barbuda, The Bahamas, Brunei, Cook Islands and Niue, Grenada, Jamaica, Kiribati, Mauritius, St Kitts and Nevis, St Vincent and the Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago, and Tuvalu.
The Department has not had discussions with Commonwealth partners on future arrangements for JCPC jurisdiction. The JCPC relies on the continuing consent of independent countries for its jurisdiction in those countries. These independent states, which have a historical connection with the United Kingdom, are free to make a pragmatic judgement on whether they derive benefit from what the JCPC has to offer.
The JCPC is funded from the UK Supreme Court (UKSC) budget. The Lord Chancellor has an obligation under section 50 of the Constitutional Reform Act 2005 to ensure the UKSC is provided with the resources appropriate to carry on its business, but under the Department’s concordat with the UKSC, the court’s chief executive, as accounting officer, negotiates with HM Treasury directly. The court’s bid for funding is shared with the Lord Chancellor, who may comment on it without altering it. The Lord Chancellor then submits it to HM Treasury for consideration.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what steps she is taking to improve the retention of Court of Appeal judges.
The data on salaried judge retention shows the majority of salaried judges leave due to retirement, with an average retirement age of 66.
As well as continuing to recruit around 1000 judges and tribunal members annually to increase judicial capacity where it is needed, the increase to the mandatory retirement age (from 70 to 75 in March 2022) and allowing fee paid and salaried judges to sit in retirement where there is a business need, is helping retain experienced judges for longer.

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the implications for their policies of the Court of Appeal judgment R (Miller) v College of Policing (2021).
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the implications for their policies of the Court of Appeal judgment R (Miller) v College of Policing (2021).
The statutory Code of Practice on NCHIs, developed by the previous government, sets out that an NCHI involves hostility or prejudice towards persons with a particular characteristic. A particular characteristic is defined as meaning race, religion, sexual orientation, disability or transgender identity – this aligns with the five protected characteristics covered in hate crime legislation in England and Wales. Further detail can be found in paragraph 16 of the Code.
This Government has made clear that we will work with policing to ensure there is a consistent and common-sense approach applied to non-crime hate incidents.
