PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
LORD FALCONER AND JUDICIAL REFORM (25 May 2005)

Motion Details

leave out from `welcomes' to end and insert `the retention of the post of Lord Chancellor and his role in securing the independence of judges; notes that English judges and courts were respected at home and abroad prior to the appointment of the present Lord Chancellor; further notes that the new Supreme Court has the same powers and duties as its predecessor, but will cost much more money; and calls on the Lord Chancellor to make sure that judicial changes do not lower standards in the appointment of judges and that changes to tort law and legal aid do not lead to unacceptable restrictions on access to justice.'.
