Clause 36 - Trials on indictment without a jury
Criminal Justice Bill
2:30 pm
Mr Humfrey Malins (Woking, Conservative)
The hon. and learned Lady is being critical of the judiciary, and in some respects I understand that. However, is she aware that at the most recent judicial seminars for all practising and part-time judges in London, there have been lectures on the issue of domestic violence at which it has been explained to the judiciary that domestic violence is almost more aggravating than common or garden violence? The judiciary are taking that point on board now, even if they once did not.
