Select Committee Statement on the First Report of the Justice Committee, Courts and Tribunals Bill, HC 192

Committee chair reports findings

Andy Slaughter, chair of the Justice Committee, will present the committee's first report on the Courts and Tribunals Bill to the Commons. The report examines the government's legislative proposals for reform of the court system and tribunal infrastructure, setting out the committee's scrutiny findings and recommendations ahead of the bill's progress through parliament.

This report shapes parliamentary and public debate on how courts and tribunals will function for years to come. The Justice Committee's recommendations can influence the final shape of legislation affecting access to justice, case backlogs, and the efficiency of civil and criminal courts across England and Wales—matters that touch every citizen who may need to use the courts.
