Proceeding contribution from Robert Buckland (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 5 June 2019. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Rehabilitation of Offenders.


Rehabilitation of Offenders

There would be a judicial review. That point was considered carefully in the other place. I readily accept and deal full on with the potentially onerous nature of having to bring a judicial review to challenge proceedings. But as I have said, the filter system that any chair would have to operate is considerable. There are safeguards and guarantees in respect of anonymity and publication that provide the sort of safeguard that, if misapplied, would quickly and obviously attract criticism when a higher court came to scrutinise the decision process.
