Proceeding contribution from Simon Hughes (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 10 October 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Independence of the Judiciary.


Independence of the Judiciary

Does the Minister therefore agree that it was not helpful—I am trying to use a neutral word—for The Sun to publish a page naming and shaming judges, on the basis of partial information in some cases, seeking to say, ““These are the lenient judges; these are the tough judges,”” and therefore stereotype people? That cannot be helpful because it simplifies what is actually a more complex set of assessments.
