This Government inherited a criminal justice system on the brink of collapse. Trials are taking longer, hearings are being cancelled, and victims are facing unacceptable delays.

As the Independent Review of Criminal Courts (IRCC) concluded, without action, the situation will continue to spiral, far beyond the point of recovery. Investment is...

The hon. Gentleman is absolutely right. This report is an awful lot stronger for the raft of amendments that he brought forward, and for the thought and devotion he put into Committee hearings and the interrogation of our witnesses.

I congratulate the right hon. Gentleman on his statement and his Committee’s report, which is welcome. The summary clearly says:

“Britain’s economic institutions and markets—especially in public procurement, energy, skills”

and, critically,

“the diffusion of innovation and finance—must be modernised for new times.”

In the spirit of the partnership he spoke of between the...
