Ten Minute Rule MotionWednesday, 22 April 2026

Criminal proceedings (juror absence)

MP proposes a new law (usually symbolic)

This is a procedural motion to allow Sally Jameson (Labour MP for Doncaster Central) to introduce a new Bill under the Ten Minute Rule. The specific details of the proposed Bill have not yet been disclosed. The motion itself is a standard parliamentary procedure that, if agreed, permits the MP to present the Bill's objectives in a ten-minute speech before the Commons.

This is a procedural item with minimal immediate policy impact. It is a formal step in the parliamentary process that enables an individual MP to bring forward legislation. The actual significance will depend entirely on the Bill's content, which has not been disclosed and will only become clear once details are provided.
